After 2 months at the tranny shop my trans finally went back in. Replaced the stock hurst shifter with an MGW (awesome).

I got my MWC front bumper support last week and this weekend I'm picking up some 799 heads to send out to AI to get ported in the future.

I almost pulled the trigger on the $400 2nd gear for sale on ebay then I came to my senses, realized it is more than double the price of the one I'm waiting for and decided I can wait 2 weeks.

There are clutch options for under 1k though...Obviously Monster has a lot of favor around here but with new hydraulics from Tick you're looking at $1k. Considered an LS7?

I was going to go to the track however; the rain changed my mind. Instead, I paid Texas speed a visit and picked up my forged internals for my lq4 370 build. Almost ready for the machine shop!!

Got the engine in my sons 01 ready to pull out. New QTP lift plate just came in today. We were going to drop from bottom but since tranny is already out, we just pulled intake and yanking from top. Front fascia already off too. So that makes life easier.
The a full gasket reseal, new lifters and close inspection of all internals to be done. Maybe a cam kit but not in the budget just yet.
