I got lots of stuff but have not done anything with it.
Headers fit. Alt starter rest of the gaskets. All the hardware.

I hope it is only another week or so on the intake so I can get the block out to the machine shop.

I have all the fittings for the coolant tubes will be an fittings. I also changed the rest of the fittings to black on the fuel system.

I put the Comp cams trunion upgrade on the rockers today. Took about 1.5 hours. Used a small Arbor press. What a mess a stock rocker would make if the trunion fails.

Intake looks like the 15th at the best. I can get one today but it is $50 more. Just can't spend that kind of $$

Well things are comming along.

Got the Hollow stem valves.

Made the jumper harness for the crank/cam sensor to my existing wiring.

I have sold some of my ford stuff so I have the $$ to get the rotating assembly. TSP has a 418 kit with a nice set of wiesco pistons and eagle crank and rods. Going to get that ordered in the next couple days.

Heads are disassembled ready to be shipped to FTI for the works. Cam, springs, retainers keepers, seals, VJ if needed and a mill to clean them up. I don't even what to know what this is going to cost. LOL

I had to return a Hughes flexplate it had a .085" wobble to it. JUNK

The TCI I got today is a very nice part comes with hardware and the crank addapter.

I would say no unless to can make a c4 bell bolt on to a c6

Don't think it is possible. custom converter is needed but other than that nothing real trick.

I'm waiting to see what you are going to do with the converter. I know the Ford coververters are 10 1/2" and the GM are 10 3/4" but the height of the neck is what got me thinking.

So do you know if the overall height is the same? Meaning that the converter will not be too short or too long once installed with the JW ultrabell?
Thanks Tim!

Jw gives dimensions to what it needs to be. Don't know how it compairs to the ford. If they did it right it should be very close.

Are those dimensions provided with the untrabell? All the parts for my build are in my buddy's house and we live 15hrs away. I've not seen any of the parts personally.

do you have any pictures of how the steering shaft fit?
I'm using these same headers and am having issues with the shaft.
Right were it comes through the firewall and the stock unit bolts up, that part is pointed right at the header, can't get the lower piece connected, i'll post up some pics.
