Default Finally started my project!

After at least two years of having all my blower parts in a closet I finally pulled the motor yesterday. Took me about 4 hrs to do it taking my time. Also sold my borla to get true duals. Should be fun to see what the G trim will do. I do have the T trim bracket but that is for later on down the road. My wife would kill me if she saw another 2200 missing form the bank account. Any way here some pics. My forged 347 will be done in about 2 weeks. I have learned alot of the guys on this section. Inspector12 has lead me in the right direction. Thanks Jeff and others. Look forward to having some good numbers on the rollers. Enuff small talk heres some pics

You'll have more than enough power to lift the wheels if you hook decent.

The motor is not done yet. But I am being patient,Because the person doing my motor does a excellent job and there really no reason to rush him. (Kotzur Racing) The heads are ordered. I need to complete the fuel system. Waiting on some $ I have coming in from one of my accounts then giving Nasty Nate a call for my new fuel tank End of this next month to be completed. Tried to get it all faster for the Nov 12th shootout but I couldnt get my $ rounded up fast enuff. And I refuse to be broke due to my car project. Thats the way it goes sometimes. Heres my buddies project we completed in 14 hrs. Im getting good at these installs A@A corvette makes a sick procharger kit. The only complanit I have about Andys system is the belt is a BITCH to get on. But it makes mad power.
