That's awesome! Car sounds tits.

Since it rained all day I made the shift light cover. Used some velcro on the back. There is a little ledge that acts as a pivot so I can push and pull it out easy. Thanks again bigdad. He sent me a old bug deflector and worked out perfect.

[Sleeper]

It sure did man, and it's gunna be perfect. Been thrashing on this thing. Gunna try and cut that up and try it here next week maybe.

I don't know how to embed shit but here is first/second start up. It fired up so fast I wasn't ready first time so cut it off quick. Going to get it on stands. Get coolant in it. And add some more trans fluid. When it stops raining get it to alinement Shop.

[Big Dad]

that plastic piece show up ?

[Sleeper]

I'll be more ready once I'm organized. It looks lIke I went out and took every tool I've got and scattered them all around my garage. But yeah add coolant, triple check shit and light it off and see what happens

[KBScobravert]

It's the little things that you think are fine that take the longest to solve. Sounds like you're ready to light the fire.

[Sleeper]

No took all night to get the sensor shit figured out. Few leaks in fuel system. One of the rps filters and a line. Took em off and put them back together and no leaks.

I want to try and start it in the morning but might put it off again. I'd really lIke to do it outside vs inside the house. Been raining here non stop

[Z06killinsbf]

Fucking pimp dude, hope its running now

[Sleeper]

It's ready to fire, but having issues with the two sensors I wired this morning. Going to go over everything tonight and figure it out.

[Sleeper]

I could have finished last night besides the bolts. Going to run around this morning and finish it. Goto work and look at the tune etc. I get off work late so I'll be forced to wait until the next day to give it a shot.

[KBScobravert]

After making bug changes, or in your case, building from ground up, just when you think you are ready - stop take the night off and go back after a nights sleep and give yourself time to look it all over again before turning the key. In other words, stop at a high point.

[Sleeper]

Well, it's crunch time. I need to wire 2 sensors in, double check startup tune, poor some fluids in, check for leaks and see what happens

[Sleeper]

Tired of waiting for lifters called and just got the ac delco ones, prob paid 60 bucks more for no difference cept it'll run sooner. Summit sent the wrong piston stop, and devils own methonal kit is here.

Going to get it running and add the meth on later.

Got the tach and shift light in. You can see what I want to cover with the tinted plastic.





One of my 2.5 ton Jack's finally shit the bed after 19 years. So basically a dollar a year of service as I think it was 19.00 new.

Got a low profile 3 ton.

[Sleeper]

Well.
