Jeff Smith  Q2 - 2005

Well the time has come for me to do my work on Project Snowball by installing the engine and running the exhaust system to help get this one of a kind project one step closer to being done.

Well with the motor setting in place just for the mock up stage I had to see how I would make the exhaust manifolds work and after finding a set in a Hemi Charger model it was time to do some cutting to the exhaust manifolds to clear the motor mounts.

So next I modified the exhaust manifolds just a bit by cutting out the front exhaust tube and rebending a new piece and cutting the lower portion and turning it 360 degrees so that it pointed straight down I was in business to get the little bit of filling and sanding that would need to be done underway.

In looking at the motor I noticed that the timing cover didn't have a fan or pulley setup so in finding one in a 70 Challenger model I used the fan and pulley setup and drilled to small holes in the timing cover to let the them slide together and now it has a fan and pulley setup.

There will be many more pics and progress to come so stay tuned and come back so you don't miss what we do to this one of a kind Project Snowball.
