Default 355 build almost complete!

Well about a month ago I lost all oil pressure while doing a 2nd gear burnout getting ready for a nitrous pass. Turns out I sheared half the teeth off my oil pump drive. I pulled the motor out and replaced all the bearings and oil pump and decided while it was all out that I wanted to go auto so I traded my M6 setup for a built th350...

also I
- relocated the fuel lines
- relocated the battery
- Installed an MSD box so I can adjust timing (I was running with -4 timing for my nitrous tune)
- Pulled the A/C out (Never used it and the car only get driven maybe twice a month) and made a block off plate

Here are some pics of the motor before it goes back in
Motor specs are in my sig

Sweet looking ride you have there. Should be much quicker too with the auto. What converter and stall rating will you be running? Tires?

thanks I am hope so the car had a lot of problems when it went 12.7s....I have a 3600 stall PTC nitrous converter brazed fins and anti ballooning plates...

I have Nitto 555r on the back of my car now on the 18's and they are 12" wide...However when I get some more money I am going to get a set of Pro stars with MT ET Streets....

I also have to change out my gear in my Moser 12 bolt...i have a 4.11 in there now and I know it won't be enough on a nitrous pass with the TH350 so I think I am going to go with a 3.55
