She drives again....bwahaha...

Well after 3 years the old money pit is driving again. Drove the car for the first time in 3 years...but I need an alignment something fierce and it got pretty hot...a sticking thermostat I figure.

Surprisingly it stops better than I thought....so I will be taking off my fancy little electric vaccum pump.

Just your run of the mill 396", AFR 210 headed, LT4 intake, LT4 block, Milodon mains, Callies crank, Lunati Rods, Diamond pistons, aggressive solid roller, all bolt ons, TH-400, Neal Chance converter, Denny's ds, Moser 12 bolt, Spohn adj. TA, BMR k-member, upper/lower A-arms, x-treme lca's, x-treme sway bar, SPA1 shocks, Eibach springs....anyway, the list goes on and on.

Going to get it tuned...aligned...fix the heat issue and then go get kicked out of the track...

Congrats, we just got Penz's car going 385 Mahle pistons, AI 200cc heads, big hydraulic roller, etc and it is great. We hope to be taking both of our cars on the power tour here in a few weeks.

Did Waswa get his car going yet? We need to get together and get to the track with Aaron.

Honestly, it has been long enough now I just want it to run...whatever it runs is what it runs.

Nice list of parts. I predict a roll bar for your future. Congrats - three years is a long time to wait.

Kooks headers,True duals too

Car has some really nice trick pieces on it.

Good to hear.....again......the coolant leak last year just took the wind outta the sails. We busted our asses only to be let down by a small porting error.

Good thing is VSS for the TH-400 is working...all the electronics are doing what they should.

Just have to get used to not having OD.

Nice... Yours and my timeline are about right, but mine has been running awaiting its new power plant for the last 3 years. Just got a call from the shop today saying it was ready to pick up.

Good times...

Now it is just the time to work out the little bugs....this and that....but soon enough the car will be in top form (at least the best I can get it).
