Well, it only took 9 hours.
But I got them in. I'm really feeling it now. Arms are killing me. Still need to run to the exhaust shop in the morning to have them clean up where I cut the exhaust to move it back 3 1/2 inches. I just didn't have a big enough welder and didn't have the room to do a good job. One of the guys in the shop next door helped up welding.
Here'* a few pictures.


Darn motor mount was in the way.

This might explain why I was getting some shaking from time to time. The motor mount bolt was gone.

I did find it laying on the frame and put it back.
The back was easy, the front was a royal PITA.

Sad to say I haven't been able to drive it. Just backed it in to the garage. But what I heard sounded sweet. I'm taking it for a spin down to slinger in the morning to pick up a set of heads. So I'm sure my evil foot might have to test it out a little bit. Got HP tuner coming so I can start tuning, and also have a 3.2" pulley to try out.

It took about 2 hours to put my nitrous system in, and you know,....... I almost got dirty. I tried it out immediately
. Later we took the car out and it ran great.

It totally spins through 1st, Slices through second, and Grips in third around 4000 rpm. ( thats if i wanna stop spinning im just i can keep it going through 3rd...its a 6 speed...) After that you cant lift your head off the head rest until around 110 because of the force.. Its Brutal
