Got the starter installed, just need to install the plastic shroud.


Got the sub frame back in, wasn't to hard.


Both axles back in.


Changed out the trans pan to the one I added a drain plug to.


Filled it up with fluid. 13 quarts. Might be a little over full but that ok, I have a drain plug.


Ran out of time. Was hopping I would finish today.


Simple didn't have the time. Had to warm up a bit a few times. Don't think I will have any time tomorrow. Going on a field trip with my son and his class to point beach nuclear plant. So I might get a little time after, but I doubt it. So I guess I finish on Wednesday.

Way to GO, Dan! I think you got an amazing amount done with the conditions and cold. I hope she gives you many miles of burnt rubber lines down the roads.

Definately a lot of work in short time.

Soon it'll be back on it'* sneakers and you are going to smile even more knowing you put it together.

Really want to finish this up. I started about 4 weeks ago. The cam was 13 hours, another hour or two for the injectors, and another hour or two for the throttle body and air filter. so 17 to 20 hours there, plus tuning. So a good 20 hours. Now throw the transmission on that. Looks like it will be about 30 hours for that. So around 50 hours of work. I'm really itching to take it out again.

Dan...one word for when you feel comfortable with it - VIDEO!

Don't vid for a while. You never want a vid of it breakin...lol

Everyone needs some bloopers to play at the end of the amazing build video!

once its running nice and smooth there will be a few videos.

Dan, when you get the chance, I'd like a good audio clip of your engine when you goose it.(secret stuff going on over here)

A little bit here at the 1:10 mark.


And some more here about the :40 mark
