T-REx First Start Video
After a looooong cold, hard winter - It runs.
Rebuilt the tranny, did the Rex with milled TSP PRC 2.02 LS6 heads and about a million and one other little things.
Many thanks out to all the folks who chimed in with help and tips. Also to both TSP and Thunder Racing. Great, great, great customer service by both.
Also - T56 Rebuilds. My tranny shifts like butter... Highly recommend them.
Now I need a trailer so that I can get a Y pipe made... Running it open tubes right now with 18" extensions. And the SOB is over heating... Need to make sure there is no air in the system...
Don't worry about all the dirt, car's been sitting on jack stands all winter. Pulled it out and washed it. Now if I can get my Drag Lites and get rid of those shooters...

Ahhh, good idea...
It's always run nice and cool and now it heats up really quickly. I thought I might have a bunch of air in there somewhere. I'll check the T-stat...

that is a sweet swap. if i had the money, that is exactly what i would do. or maybe if i total my gto, i will take the motor/trans out of that. your car sounds mean as hell.

Can't wait for the tune but, I think I need to get exhaust on it here pretty quickly. In spite of how much I like the sound of open headers - I will get shot - by my nieghbors...
