Figuring out how and where to mount the fuel filter/regulator was a little challenging. On the M998 that was here there were not any hard mounted trans lines on the frame rail so it was easy to mount one there, not the case with the m1123. Made this overkill mount and got it where I wanted it. Need to get matching bolts for the mount and hook up the feed line. Also need to remove the transmission bypass. Feels good to get this taken care of.

So close! I was secretly hoping to have this running before I got my title from GovPlanet. It’s supposed to arrive tomorrow. Got a few setbacks so I will most likely be next weekend before I hear it run. Battery mount should be here tomorrow so I can wrap that up. Also going to get a 12” flexible fuel filler hose so I can stop playing games with the 5” one. Need to take off the eBay swivel thermostat housing and replace with the Holley one, it’s leaking…At somepoint I need to replace the internal transmission harness since it’s leaking at the connector.
