Engine and transmission are officially in...wooohooo!!! Went in a lot easier than yesterday's debacle. Cut the panhard bar mounts off the top and made a world of difference!

Headers fit really well...they are 4th gen F-bodies right out of the box.

Enjoy the pics!

Thanks man!!! After I built my TA I realized I didn't exactly have much of a vision for that car...this car is totally different for whatever reason. I know exactly what I want to do with it and am a LOT better controlling what I spend my money on...first go around I was a sloppy drunk...haha :cheers:

Very, Very nice Dave. Hurry up and get that thing done, I want your feedback on the Vaporworx/EZ-EFI package. I'm getting jazzed just looking at your pictures!

:woot:

Thanks dude! Thanks for your help the other day! I plan to have her running in a few weeks! She may not be rolling but she will be running dammit!!! :thumbsup:

Looks great Dave. Nice progress.:thumbsup:

Little update for ya...

Looks like I goofed and installed the wrong flexplate. Hey, it happens to the best of us, so the engine is back out again. Not the end of the world, just glad I noticed it before I did anything stupid...haha

And while I feel I took a small step backward, I did take two steps forward today! Decide to get a cheaper set of wheels for now because I just can see spending $3000 for a set of wheels that will enter a paint booth and I want to make sure they fit the car. I decided on the Boss 338s for now...with Rushforth Rated Xs coming in the not so distant future.

I also picked up a set of Nitto 555s to complete my rolling stock.

The FAST EZ TCU showed up yesterday as well so I am still moving in the right direction. Still a little bummed Pace hasn't delivered by accessory drive yet, but they are still making them...or so I have been told. Been close to 3 weeks since order, but what can I do...

Oh well, thanks! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Dave

Those wheels should look great on your car Dave.:yes:

BanditDave 03-27-2011 11:12 AM

Nice little update....SHE ROLLS!!!

Got her out of the garage for the first time in a over a year or so...definitely need to work on the camber...lol. But I am way overdue cleaning the garage. Gotta start getting some sheet metal on the front to get a feel if I need ot go lower on the front springs.

Still waiting on the tank and front accessory drive. Am going to start on wiring and body work in the next few days.

Enjoy...
