Also the 6L80E will hold...I'm talking I watched it get built. Custom made straight from the machine shop tig welded engineered build. Circle D warrantied and sponsored my build if that tells you anything. They are that confident. If it crap out, I don't even have to pull it.
I have ran into all kinds of issues with the DART Block so I still have alot of wiring to clean up. But as I promised. Here is my First Start Up. 454 F2 LS Iron Dart Block F2 Procharger.

Whoa!! Hey!!! I didn't mean to offend you. I just thought that was alot of work and alot of money for just a little over 100rwhp extra. Your hands have got to be killing you. Like I said. Good numbers.

Yea, didn't mean to offend, just short typing my opinion on my phone in the mobile view of the forum.
There was another cog F2 car built in southern california that never worked, sold it to a guy in colorado that could never get it to work. After going through ~$1,000 in broken belts I've never seen him post again about the car actually.
There was also an F2 cog car here in Kansas City that popped belts every ~20 miles if you got on it at all. That car got torn down and parted out.
Come to think of it, there was also another cog car that got sold to a shop out in the east coast. They ended up parting out the blower and cog stuff and building it as a rib belt driven race car for super/ultra street.
I'm just saying if it were me I'd run the F2 on a 12 rib, or I'd run a 10 rib F1X through a powerglide.

Did you get that in writing? Cause 2 of the 3 I know of were DP setups. Flyin Medic had the car done by them too, so not install errors that I'm aware of. I think that bracket costs more than my motor, so I hope it works for ya too. You could convert to 12 rib maybe on that same bracket
I wasn't going to say anything about the refund coment, because I understand how pissed I'd be as well and that would be my first reaction too. But I dought there is any thing you can MAKE any co. or shop refund your money. But I'd try as well lol!
