Sound like me, car is getting new brakes, PS pump, shocks, springs, sways, seats, gauges, fluids, diff cover/girdle, Wheels/Tires, headlights, radiator, Cage, seats, harnesses and most importantly motor. The motor is being finished up now, with finaly assembly on Saturday (hopefully). Then I have to drive 3 hours pick up motor, drive 3 more hours to deliver to installer). They will install, break in and tune the motor next week (along with wrapping up the rest of all these installs). I just don't know if we are gonna get it wrapped up in time or not. After all this is done, I will have to get an alignment, and try to put some miles on the car, then get that break in oil out of there before Saturdays AutoX.

Wow! I thought I was running an untested combo. I just got my truck running with the new engine/trans about a month ago. LOL

I still need to get a helmet, change the pushrods in my engine, change the oil, mount a coolant overflow canister, and fix a leaky trans drain plug. I'll wait til tech inspection on Thursday night to see if the factory battery hold down is good enough or not. I was hoping to find some 3-point belts this weekend to replace my lap belts.




I also got to take the truck to the ridetech booth at Shades of The Past to get it weighed. Last year, with the iron head sbc, it weighed in at 3,737 lbs with a 62/38 f/r weight bias. With the LS1 setup, it's now 3,591lbs with just under a 60/40 f/r bias. That should help things a tad.
