Default Tomorrow is THE day!

Over the past couple of weeks I've put on new shocks, springs, ported & polished TB, wideband, raptor shiftlight, different catback, and a couple other little things...

Tomorrow the G5X3, 921 spring kit, LS6 ported oil pump, LS2 timing chain, pushrods, and U/D pulley are going in!!!

I will for sure be posting a sound clip when I get done and fire her up for the first time!

Just take your time. Cam swaps are a breeze.

Well, it WILL fire up tomorrow. Everything was going smooth and quick until we lost a crank case cover bolt. Originally my roommate thought he dropped it in the oil pan So we took about 2 1/2 hrs looking for it and dropping the pan and its no where to be found. Being that its a crank case cover bolt it is very very unlikely it went in there and we couldn't find it in there. So, 2 1/2 hrs later we started again, kind off. The cam and everything is in and driver side springs are on.

Tomorrow I'm going to finish up the passenger side springs and get the oil pan back on. Eli is going to take my valve covers and crank case cover to his work and hot tank them. For some reason there is a lot of gunk in the heads So we're going to do what we can to clean them up until I get new heads for the car.
