How far along are ya?? I am in the last stages of mine. Just finished installing the rockers and now need to mount the balancer and front cover.

Have fun with that AC condensor....I can send ya a pic of mine tied up at a very awkward position. Did not break, though.

I must have 75 pictures of this entire install.

I went with the Torquer V3. 231/234 .644/.598 111+1

Its advertised at .643 on the intake, my camcard says .644......not the it will make a difference. LOL

No numbers yet, today I install the headers and ORY and I am done. I had a nightmare last night that I did not get her dot to dot and it ate itself upon start-up If I had a dollar for everytime I checked and re-checked that sprocket alignment and rolled the engine over by hand I would have paid for the endeavor 10 times over.

Mines almost done. But I ran into a stuck crank bolt. It sucks and is going to have to be drilled out this week. Oh well, it all comes with modding cars.
