Got the motor built yesterday and it is in the car with transmissions. Tonight still need to connect exhaust, d-shaft, wiring, hoses, etc. I also need to find a timing cover bolt. I was wondering how I could have lost one but just realized it was probablly attached to the section of timing cover that blew out and is at the bottom of the bowl at ECR.
If by tonight it holds all fluids and runs, then I should be in good shape.



BTW, sorry about the flu Bryan. I was only sick for 1 day so I assume you are back to feeling good.

I feel your pain, 65 is still noticeably quiet

I should hopefully be running tonight. Gotta love getting things done at the very last minute!!!

Happy to report noise from my garage tonight indicates Fred Flintstone power will not be required this weekend

Spent 2 hours on the dyno... New heads picked up quite a bit of power. Enough to not be able to restrict without drastic measures. The only change to the motor was changing from "small" GT-40X heads to AFR 165's... Went from 330/340 to 362/370 with just the head swap. Ended up putting in a throttle stop (3/4" spacer on the throttle cable attach point at the throttle body..). Who knows what it actually opens to now.

Ended up at 327/349...

Car is now under wrap and ready to load Friday morning.


Here was the "before" plot

Gavin and I need a place to crash at night. Does anyone have an enclosed trailer we can bunk down in?

My daughter is over from Australia and will likely stay Friday night but am fairly sure there's ample room both nights.

Thanks Craig. It's a deal!
