What is your plan for alignment? I was able to get everything transmission back within 0.1 deg. in my garage, but front suspension is a whole nother deal. That stuff is next to impossible to get close in the garage, at least with the methods I came up with.
Lookin' good though man glad to see you finally got her running.

I plan to get everything close in my garage... then take it to a shop and give them something like this for the front end:
-1.5 camber
4.5-5 caster (more on passenger side to account for the crown of the road)
0 toe
Dyno will be sometime in February. I just need to finalize with Geoff @ EPS.

Sounds good. I run 0 toe, -1 camber (seems to be perfect for tire wear vs -1.5 imo) and 5 caster.

I've been slowly working on other things... like adding A/C back and getting the throttle bracket reinstalled and adjusted. Waiting for my brother to get some time off for work to help me with the transmission then I can get the car out on the road.
In the meantime, I've been collecting some other items to complete this phase of the car:

I need to get the brakes, the rest of the suspension, and the rearend done. I think that'll be late summer before I can tackle those... so won't be running any 1/4 times until the fall methinks.
But the car is to a place where I can enjoy on the street once I button up everything and get her tuned.

I'm stoked to see a video of it driving under it's own power.

Me too. Will get the trans in this weekend.
Also, I'm having to fab up something to run the stock MAF. Geoff didn't want to do a mail-order tune for the 100mm LS3 MAF. So, the FTP 104mm lid and 100mm MAF won't go on til it's on the dyno.
Also, my last thing came in to get the car going:
