Default Time To Get At The Gettin' At It

I guess it's time to stop piling up boxes in my shop, and get my @$$ in gear. Getting started is always the hardest part.

What's here:

F.A.S.T. 92mm intake
F.A.S.T. 92mm TB
Textralia OZ700 clutch/billet steel flywheel/pressure plate (ARP flywheel bolts)
Spohn adj. chrome-moly torque arm/drive shaft loop
Spohn tubular chrome-moly SFC's
DANA 60 rear end

What's on the way:

Spohn tubular K-Member, LSX motor mounts, lower control arms w/spherical ends/ball joints
Spohn adj tubular chrome-moly LCA's, spherical/spherical
Spohn adj chrome-moly Panhard rod
Koni single adj front/rear shocks
BMR lowering springs

What's done/here:

Eagle 4340 forged stroker crank (ARP main studs)
Callies forged H-Beam rods (ARP rod bolts)
Diamond Pro-Race pistons
AFR Mongoose 225 heads (ARP head studs)
Cometic .040" head gaskets
Jesel J2K Shaft Mount adjustable roller rockers (1.7)
Comp 234/240 .598/.603 112 LSA X-Treme cam
Comp-R Hydraulic roller lifters
Comp Hi-Tech pushrods
JET MAF
LS2 timing set
Melling ported oil pump
ATI 10% underdrive pulley
Nasty Performance custom valve covers
Coil relocation
Spohn front/rear HD sway bars
Kooks 1-3/4" LT's/ORY (ARP header studs)
Magnaflow stainless cat-back
T56 1A performance pkg rebuild
Pro 5.0 shifter
ROH 17" X 9" Snyper wheels

What I'm still agonizing over:

Stay N/A, or go with a direct port 150-shot? With "driving season" so close, I'll probably stay N/A.....at least for the summer. Who knows what I'll do for a "winter project" this year......without my wife killing me in my sleep. I have a lot to do between now and May. The only thing worrying me is finding a good dyno tuning shop. Even so, I can't wait to turn the key for the 1st time and see what she's got.

Sounds like a nice project. I wish I had half of that stuff laying around.

you can always store any of that in my garage...if you're lucky, it won't find its way on my car first.

sounds like a nasty project!

How did you have time for the 92mm's to lay around? They came out like 5 minutes ago!

With that cam I assume this is a 5.7-6.0 motor.
