Well update, Engine and transmission are BOLTED in place.Tomorrow I'l get on with header construction.



Kevin you better tell your mom to send some chile sause or else!!

I would gladly accept, Do you think you could grab a T88 from Tito on your way over?? lol. jk.

 

Good progress on your swap.Looks like you'll get it done in no time.That little thing should move.Good Luck

 

Well the exhaust is officially being a pain in the buns!!(keeping moderators happy) It has taken me 8 hours of real world cut and paste. I wish I had a mandrel bender and som shiney new pipe!!



I will be using a SAAB straight through muffler as a pre silencer.



During construction I found some serious restrictions in the old exhaust and fuel systems. Which makes me wonder just how much more power I have just tapped into. Well we will find out soon enough since the car will be back on the road in 14 days. Yes that is my goal! Help me stay focused guys.



BTW, Good luck to all of you guys in the north east going out to test and tune tomorrow on "Track Opening Day"
