At the end of day 1....
Got the tranny out, and the engine was 1 ground wire away from being on an engine stand! I forgot to disconnec1 a ground to my oil pan bolt, so I had it lifted up and almost there before I caught it...the shop closed at 7 though and I ran out of time...

sounds like you are having about as much fun as I am
The parts look great especially those lpp's they are a work of art. If I can ever get out of this god forsaken state those will be the first thing the car gets. As I was looking at the parts though I couldn't help but ask what cam is going in and also are you doing the shortblock as we speak? Those looked like stock pistons in the photos?

looks fun! just clean, clean, prep and prep again to be certain all goes together well.
make sure to take the time to get the correct pushrod length & sweep on the rocker
We all look forward to hearing about your results.
good luck

Bullshit Calvin, I NEVER said you cant help me. Actually I offered a solution but YOU are the one who acted like you didnt want to just because we couldnt bring YOUR car in to fix the pinion leak!
All I said was that you have to be military to bring a car into the shop because of liability issues so we couldnt work on YOUR car but if you wanted we could wait until my car was done and I could bring yours in as my car and work on it...Your reply was "when your car is done huh? have fun with that..."
I never said you couldnt come help me or that I didnt want you to...

thats bs Cory. I didnt care about working on my car, it took me 20mins to fix my pinion leak even without a lift...
The plan was for me to help and your exact words were "I'LL call you when I get done with MY car"...
You want help you have to ask, not blow me off.

I am looking at the text right now...it says WORD FOR WORD...
"Sorry, was under the car. They wont let your car in, I just talked to em, BUT after I get mine done maybe I can drive yours in and pretend its mine and we can get it fixed"
Where in there did I say I would call you when I finish my car??
Your IMMEDIATE and ONLY reply to that was and I am quoting directly from a text again...
"After you get yours done huh. Alright have fun..."
