Unhappy O.K whose alive?

Jeez,
This section has been dead lately eh?
How's everybody car coming along?

No real updates on my car except my custom CP pistons came in finally. Now I just need to get them stuffed into my block.Hopefully when Mike gets back he can get rolling on assembeling the motor.Also got my LS1 coil pack setup from Mr.UPS man.

Dean will be wiring in my eDist box and plumbing in a whole new fuel system very shortly.Right Dean.

I'm here

I'm gonna tear into the blue 85 this weekend I think, I drove it on Sat.... started up w/ the help of a new battery and didn't really smoke much at all but I've got the gasket kit already so I just need the water pump and a few misc items and I should be good to go

thanks again for hooking me up w/ that

The Buick puked a camshaft

Pulled the valve covers and spun it over and only the passenger side valves moved, the half on the drives side didn't do **** but at least it was kind enough to let me get home as it died a hundred feet from my driveway and I coasted home from there.

Oh well, anyone got a camshaft for a Buick 3.8 V6

the camaro will be ready next weekend (hopefully).

i just got in my 50pd injectors, i got my 15pd blower pulley i,I got my computer back from ed wright.i got my new plugs, my hooker LT were coated black instead of silver so im waiting for them to resandblast them and respray them. napa has my 12rib belt on order ( should be here tomorrow) I have the pipeing for my true dual exhaust. once i get the LT's back Ill put in the exhaust piping and decide on mufflers. either 2 4inch race mufflers or 3 inch street/strip mufflers or 3inch dumps.

the mustang i finally washed it last night. its been so HOT I was to lazy to clean it...
she must be happy she was in a good mood this morning. I think she was jealous because of all the attention the camaro was getting.

good luck everyone else.

Checking in! Working out a few little bugs that went along with the stroker that I put in this past winter/spring, like the busted 4L60E. That's all set now though, it was good timing for a 2600 stall! Taking the bird to Lebanon this Wednesday to see how were doing.
