Grab some exhaust vent hose and a bilge fan. I put in a "dryer duct outlet" type self-closing vent outlet in the bottom section of my garage door, has a 4" pipe connection that I can hook a portable A/C unit to or hook up a 4" bilge fan and 4" shop exhaust tubing to to run vehicles indoors, Y'ed into 2 3" pieces.

example:
Crushproof Tubing FLT300 3" X 11' Exhaust Hose by Crushproof Tubing | Toolfetch

Or you can use the aluminum flex crap for dryer ducts, the thicker stuff, as it's a lot cheaper or free in my profession, but doesn't last as long and gets ruined if you step on it or look at it wrong, lol.

Dummy gauges came in. Left is 3-3/8 right is 4". I think I will go with the chrome bezel and 4".


Goal is to keep all the idicators functioning. The 3-3/8 gauge will definitely fit with minor modification. The 4" is a very tight fit. Both have a 1" depth.

Got a wheel alignment and fixed rear camber now that I have the adjustable camber arms. Installed one of the folding power mirrors. No wiring for them in my 1990 model. Will have to dissect the wiring diagrams and wire it myself.

Gaskets from ips came today so I finally bolted my new oil pump to the fresh block. Just need my rear main seal and I can finish up this bottom end.

Fixed this balls up :(
