496 Ready to go!

The 496 is all put together minus the oil pan. The oil pan just came in today. (Thanks Mike Lewis). I am trying to get the car as ready as I can before I haul it to 72Nova's house for the engine install on Saturday.

Last couple of things left to do and have questions: I am changing from a column shift to a floor shift. The shifter piece that sticks out on the steering column in the engine bay....do you remove the piece or do you just cut it off? Does it matter? I don't think the summit headers will fit if I leave it.

Thanks for all the help everyone, we are almost there.:hurray:

You are welcome :thumbsup:
That got there really quick, I just ordered in on Monday I think.
I assume the p/u was with it?
Thanks again & sorry for the delay on the other pan,,

Yes the pick up was with it. And yes that was quick but couldn't have gotten it any later. It worked out and that was all that matters. Since I didn't get the dipstick, do I get a 1/4 compression fitting and use my old dipstick?

Far as I know Milodon still uses the standard "press-in" stock type tube but I don't have one here to look at
If it does not have threads it takes a standard tube
