Well after taking MANY Months off the project do to LIFE... I finally have the car back in full swing, and I got it running! I am just waiting on new Brake Calipers, and a re-tune and she will be driving this weekend! Almost three years in the making!
Here's a short video of it idling with the base tune in it...tuned for a 85mm vette MAF but I ended up putting a 75mm F-body MAF on it, so the tune is off...but it runs!
Leave comments and let me know what yall think!

Very cool. I have a weakness for these cars. If you still have an issue with your front end sitting too high, you might want to check if the springs are fully inserted into the upper frame pockets. They like to get snagged on the center part (where the upper shock mount connects to the frame). When this happens, it forces the car "up" 2 or 3 inches in front. It can be fixed by jacking the car up to unload the springs, and moving the upper spring around until it goes up into the pocket fully. You may have to disconnect the shocks and/or lower ball joint to fully unload the spring.
I also have to wire up the electric fans to the pcm pin out, mount the pcm, clean up wiring, fill in firewall holes, and dynomat, finish the tune, get a new brake proportioning valve so the front brakes will work, and get the oil pressure/water temp gauges to read. Then hopefully everything will be ready to roll..... hopefully :/
