Tried to put the exhaust crossover pipe back on. Could not get the driver side on. I think I need to loosen the passenger side.

Put the passenger seat back in after I'd taken it out a few days ago to put a seat cover on it. It looks surprisingly sharp.
Started to tear a spare power driver's seat down to see how it is assembled (and to take the trim off, which I need) and figure out how I am going to convert mine to power.

Took the cap off the dump pipe and tried to scare the neighbors. Didn't work, they're used to me by now.

Well, the motor is in the car, the transmission is at the shop getting built to support the power. We ran into a little snag, I bought a set of 72lb injectors from Tom and he discovered he only had five. Thanks to the help of Cal Hartline confirming two different brands of injectors wasnt a good idea we tracked down an exact match. He flowed the injectors and all is well now. Everything is pretty much ready for the transmission to be put back in. Once the tranny is installed it shouldnt be more than an afternoon before the car can be started and a fat tune can be put in the fast box for the break in period.

Since my car is awaiting a tranny I decided to install my keyless entry that I've been putting off for over a year....works great yay!
Also started installing a crankcase evac system using an LT1 smog pump and Racetronix wire harness...tested the system electrically and it works! I still need to fab a bracket for the smog pump and get the breathers and catch can.

I finally got my exhaust crossover on. Need to go buy longer bolts for the drivers side. Got some new MSD plug wires and some E3 spark plugs waiting to go on. Discovered a crack on my downpipe in front of the cat so I am taking that to get fixed in the morning. (Yes it is the stock one. To poor for a 3 in unless someone has an old one to donate.)

found some more stuff to throw at it, since it's going to be down a bit longer than anticipated. Also got a bottle of Dominican rum and a cigar (Monte Cristo) so JoBu will keep it from further harm....

Finally got it all together a couple weeks ago and it runs sweet:
1. New Motor (complete with ported heads) 2. New Turbo 3. New Tranny 4. Not Happy Wifey It ran a best of 11.22 @123 mph on the old combo and new set up should give me 25-35 more horsepower. So anyway with that in mind I decide to dump the 12 year old Dunlops (afraid to make another pass on them) and spring for a new set of Firehawks. The saleman says "those will give you much better traction than those old tires you had" as I'm backing it out of the bay (no one drives my car). All the mechanics are watching and listening. I could not resist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh by the way, new Firestones go up in smoke just as easily as 12 year old Dunlops. Drove by the Firestone Tire Store today and the black streaks are still there with a short skip when it hit second and then continues. Mikey
