My build thread Well I thought I would update you all on my build. Its currently at a stand still, since I broke my hand a few weeks ago, I should be able to finish it in the next 2-3 weeks and get it all up and running. Here is a link to my local site of the build:
http://www.rwhp.us/gm-tech/6470-my-build-thread.html
Its a 414 Iron Block, with LS7 heads, forged callies internals, moroso oil pan, carb style intake and a few other goodies. Enjoy

Yeah, i now my friend.... if it wasn't the turbo kit that took 8 months it was the FLT 4l80e that took over 3 months! And the nexus gauges was even a better story... briefly, I have the actual FIRST tach/speedo Autometer had ever built in the nexus gauges series and being the first (only) and having no real world experience, we didn't know that they didn't work AT ALL. They were shells!!!!
Funny stuff!

I hear ya, know its become all the little things that are costing me. And building a car and saving for a wedding...well you know which one wins every time. And in the middle of this whole thing, I broke my hand again. Well its been 9 weeks since I did it, and I still cant hold a wrench. Going back to the doctor tomorrow! We'll see if they want to do sugury
DUDE?! Get the f..... out of here... I'm also getting married in Feb. 2010 and hell yeah I know what THAT is like!!
Seriously, she can spend "HOW MUCH?!" type of money on a freaking dress that or flowers or whatever for ONE day yet I cannot slip a 500.00 bill to cover for some tires that ordered.
All i can say is that she is lucky she is hot cuz, well, .... don't want to even go there... she might be watching! (she is catching on to my online board name)

hahahaha, my wedding is next month, we had the flowers fight, I settled for $500.00 to spend on them! Fish tank is on hold, car is on hold, everything is on hold..lol, its ok though, its worth it! Although I would love to trailer my car home with me for the wedding and do a nice fat smokey burnout after I get married, but beggers cant be choosers...lol

Well we fired it yesterday, but my new motor doesnt like the tune thats in it right now. So my buddy is is writing a tune for me. So hopefully here in a couple of days I will actually be able to drive it....have to bleed the clutch once if finally fires up. Other than that, I just have to finish putting the interior back together, and a tie up a few more loose ends.
