She's alive!!!!!! Well after a few little mishaps and findings my old 383 was retired and with huge help from Don (slowhawk), Marcel (Tracer-x), Josh(snowking), and a few others along the way. i know have my 418 w/ trickflow 225's up and running 
this car will be an animal !!! still a few small tweaks and final tuning 
even though its not done yet this setup is already alot more potent then my 383 was 
.
We also freshend the tranny up while we had it all out.
there were alot of laughs, a few tears, and "time is money" threw this whole time .
the shortblock came from Virgina Speed and built with some of my previous components by Shawn. Thanks Again Shawn! the Captn.'s Definetly on me Next time.
Don has been crunching numbers and working on this combo in his sleep since the begining and so far i am more than happy! even though he wants more as the cam is beyond small for the cubes
Don thank you for ALL the help threw this Whole situation and Being supportive on my down days with it and of course all the help and just being a great friend the whole time also. no way i could have done this w/o you Sir!
with all the extra time you have put in the late night last minute head install, calming me down when i wanna flip out lol. and of course having the patience for the whole project.
Marcel as ive stated many times before i still cant thank you enough for all the help threw this project and knowing what else is going on in the backround right now too. no Way it would have been done w/o your help.You defiently stepped up and made this happen for me man. i really appriciate it and all the help and hours youve put into this as well.
Josh, thanks for dropping the piston
no j/k man i really appriciate all the help youve put in as well and putting up with me on the bad days lol and throwing of stuff. you dont even flinch to go and help someone and i really respect that as a good friend .
thank you all , its a great feeling to know the great friends i do have and how it can all come together and create something Great!!
Cant wait to get this baby all finshied as the prelim numbers and feel are AWESOME!!! i really cant thank y'all enough

No problem keith, all good freinds should drop a piston every now and then. Hell I could have thrown it and then ran it over, in the end you didnt need it anyway.
But on a serious note that car is a torque monster, cant wait to see it run. Hopefully you will learn how to drive by then.
