Finally done,.. ALMOST

Well we got all the goodies installed yesterday. finished up the 4 valve, vortech with 3.0 pulley and methanol injection kit, Aeromotive fuel sytem, battery relocated to the trunk and the gauges put in. made for a long 2 weeks.

I could not have done it myself, I have great friends and my wife even pitched in.

Only problem is the transmission from the donor car has a bad 3rd gear. It hasnt let go yet, but whines like crazy. I will probably put mine in it sunday.

Other than that it runs great and pulls HARD, even at half throttle. I have gotten a good hard pull because the tune isnt nailed down. that should be done by next weekend.

my materials came on for polishing the aluminum parts. I spent a few hours on the plenum and supercharger. The plenum is almost finished but the SC will take some more time. check out the pics.

Motor has been dropped off at the shop and I am in line. they are extremely busy so it might take a few weeks to get it back.

hopefully I can have it back in the car before we get to far out of the cool weather.

after getting my car back with all the gremlins worked out I couldnt contain myself. I had my foot in it everytime I got an empty stretch of raod. learned my lesson.. check the blower belt frequently. It shredded, busting my oil feed to the blower which in turn caused me to spin a bearing... chalk one up to stupidity.
