...then how about the fact that it needs struts/shocks, brakes, and all the rear axle bearings replaced Other than that I may get it out for a month or two seeing as how it does get better mileage than my truck.

Looking good Jonny! Hope you can get it tuned soon. FYI, keep an eye on your serpentine belt. I had to upgrade to a Katech tensioner last week. I kept having issues with my belt jumping ribs, and finally coming completely off (after a challenge from a Cobra.... ). No worries now though.

So what the old up here Superman. You would have to strap me in my bed to stop me from getting that bad boy running! You have to be very close now.

Update!
Should have numbers any day now guys. I was struggling with the build and got fed up with working on it and just wanted it on the road so Bob and the boys at EPP came to the rescue and got me up and running. I have some little stuff to finish up on the car and the new motor needed to be fired up and broken in, etc and i wanted to leave that to the pro's. Anyways, the car is all done now, runs, has full exhaust on it, and is on the dyno right now, just having some computer issues. The car was tuned last year in a custom HPTuners set up and EPP uses EFI Live so they are unable to read it. Hopefully it will get squared away today or real soon and we can get the engine broken in and get some numbers! Stay tuned!

i hope so, it have 1st and reverse that i know of, haha. It hasnt gotten anything more due to it being a new motor that needs to be broken in and with the addition of the second fuel pump it is pretty rich right now which is not ideal for breaking in an engine. Hoping to get an update and hopefully some numbers on Monday! Keep posted!
