Well I was bored today & I was off from work so I figured I would go see the car. I havent even seen it since April so with the motor almost complete, I thought I should pay here a visit. I took the new truck and drove down to Joes. It was a nice drive no traffic good music, all in all a good experience. I got to the shop to see Dave working hard on my car. He is doing most of the assembling, while Joe is taking care of the details, like P-V clearance, pushrods etc. This was the first time I met Dave, he was a nice guy and cool to talk to. I must say that when I saw my car after more than 7 months IT WAS A SHOCK. IT LOOKED SO SWEEEEETTTTTT. I forgot how awesome the car was. Well I stayed about 30-45 minutes BSing with Dave and then I took off. Traffic coming home was a biatch!! Massive accident on the Belt Parkway so that was the brunt of my driving today. Well I snapped some pics of the car. They are off the Kooks Y Pipe, The car from the side, the Crane Daul Spings, the top of the block no intake, and My most favorite pick, the engarving on the block. Here are the picks. I should have the car back late next week.

LOL Thanks Guys. I am very excited. I wonder what I should expect from the dyno? 480-500 seems reasonable. I dont think I will see 520 or whatever that other hydro 427 put down. We will see soon enough.

Short term memory loss huh? Could that have something to do with your avatar?

LOL Vince. Truth be told Vince and I were jumping up and down on your bumper to see if you suspension was still good and I must say it has a nice bounce to it

I am pretty sure the problem with my car is the bottom end. I think a ring or ringland, something with the piston in which I am getting a shitload of blowbuy. While I had the car running the other day after the dipstick popped out again I watched it and it was like a tea kettle pouring out steam. I must have been superheating the oil, I had alot of water vapor as well.

Thanks for testing out the shocks.
I figured they needed to be replaced so out with the stockers, and in with the new Hal R's up front with the Hal springs & Hal rears. That should give me a nice 60'.
I also will add the BMR tubular K members and Xtreme rear drag sway bar at the same time. Later you fockers.
I couldnt find a spot to use this
but I had to put it in.
