Slow progress on my SVO

[aoc racer]

So i got a 84 SVO back in June and I thought I would have it running by November. Yeah, then I found out how much work was actually needed. Anyways, although progress has been slow, a lot has been accomplished and today i'm installing a replacement power steering pump and the down pipe. I'll post pics if that later but for now here are pics of the current progress. Let me know what you guys think

I was going to on the original engine, but I got a good deal on another engine with low miles that was complete. all i had to do was swap upper/lower manifold, throttle, turbo, alternator, and a few other things. If i didnt get this engine i wouldn't be were i am today with the progress.

What a difference so far, great work. epper: Can't wait to see it down the line.

Always wanted a SVO for a project car, something about them is so appealing.

Coming along very nicely. I well remember those SVOs. Back in the day they were just not appreciated (package wise) for what they were. Nice to see them being restored. When do you hope to finish your project?

if all goes well, either the end of this month or early march

What DP did you get?

well it's got the stock down pipe, but today i ran into trouble trying to fit the long exhaust piece that has the cat on it.
this is the piece im talking about: Catco 4129 - Catco Direct Fit Catalytic Converters - summitracing.com
It looks like it should fit but i can't get the pieces to align where it attaches to the DP. almost like it doesn't fit or it is the wrong part. any suggestions??
