Day 1 finished - Engine/Trans work "PICS" Well after working 8-6 all day I got the tranny out, clutch out, master cyl. out, and the top end of the motor disassembled. I also spend hours cleaning the block and pistons as well. Oh and I installed the new motor mounts as well today. You can get a lot more done in a day when you have air tools! Still doing it on garage floor. I will be updating with pics as I go!

Damn you made pretty good time! Pulling the heads on an f-body is a bastardly chore. Head bolts on the passenger side really suck.
What's going in?!???!?
2 things I noticed:
1) Be careful with that jack. I had the same one and it took a royal **** on me. It got to where you needed channel-locks to loosen it and it would constantly bleed down to the ground. The jack got retired but that aluminum handle makes a great prybar these days!
2) Put a real oil filter on.

Going on:
-Dart 205's
-TR 230/224
-FAST 90 Intake
-NW TB
-Comp lifters, PR's
-Cometics
-SVO 30's
-Mcleod single disc/ master
-T56 rebuilds my tranny
-a bunch more little things
Yeah, I can tell this jack is going to go in a little, just hope it holds on for the rest of the build...
I've done heads on a couple LS1's before so by the third time and with air it goes real quick. I havent done a clutch on this car before so I'll see how hard it is to get that trans. back in there.
