Almost done, had some troubles finding a rear main.. two hours of driving around cuz everyone said they had one and didnt.. :pissed:


If you get some time later come by and I'll throw those heater hoses on your car and we can put some anti-freeze in it before we forget and have some issuse's.

Damn I had that rear main in stock (if it was 2-piece) I should have given it to you with the studs.

its a one piece I ended up finding one had to drive to B.F.E to get it but got one..
 
I'm having some minor issues with clearance on things for some reason, some how it all started when 86coupe showed up :dontknow:. :chairfall


But the intake wouldn't fit down all the way it was hitting the lip on the heads, had to grind on my new intake :pissed:.

oil pan hits the girdle, tried three styles of rockers before one worked right; even so they might not last long being a 3\8" stud..

btw couple more pics

Coors Light is the best..

did you get that last pm about the bell? You should have it middle of next week its supposed to go out monday. I probly could have gotten a used one alot faster, but I didn't think it was really fair to you to gamble on a used one. Hopefully they actually send it out monday like the guy said, once again if you wish to verify Eric is the salesman I delt with he knows my name and the account details off the top of his head form me calling so much to see what the hol dup was...
