Oh thats right...now I can venture out of the chit chat world and into the world of Steve and Mo!!! The engine is in the heep and after hooking the exhaust back up we decided "what the hell..lets see if it will turn over" And would you believe it started on the very first try? WHOOO HOOOOOOO!!! It actually kinda scared the $hit outta me for a sec because I didn't expect it to start! Nothing else has gone right...why would this? LOL

It won't stay running because we still have some vacuum line work to do. So...if anyone lives in my area, knows a thing or two about this crap and would like to come over on Saturday to help us finish this up I would love you forever! (ok...not really but I would buy you beer!) There are a few lines that we just aren't sure about and the books don't really help worth a damn!

Ok...now that I've shared my good news its back to chit chat! *kiss kiss* :D

Well after 61 people viewing this thread, let me be the FIRST to say

WAY TO GO MEL!

It must have felt good to be back in the saddle again... Do you have emission laws to contend with? Not sure if Haynes manual will be of assistance. Down here, we are emission free so it's kind of a free for all with all of my V8's

Congrats again..

Chief :D

So you got a suction problem huh?:rolleyes: :eek:

congrats!

now if I could just find the time to finish mine

Thanks Chief!!! Yes....we have emission laws and it sucks. I think thats gonna be my nightmare in this situation...but maybe not. I also didn't think it would start in the first try! LOL :D

It runs good!

Sounds strong,and no leaks.

We need to hook up the Pulse Air system,get a few bolts that were missing or trashed from Drilling,and top off the tranny and T\C.

It's been over a month but we are getting it.
It is hard to find free time with work and Kids(I have less than I thought):D

Rob
