Finally, it seems like it's been forever but the engine and tranny are back in the car. I'm sure some of you guys know how excited I am. My friend Phillip and I worked all day today and aside from some small odds and ends that need tying up it's nearly ready to run. I installed a new BMR torque arm relocation and I am very pleased with the fit and finish. I would just like to say that I am very pleased with Thunder Racing helping me out of a bind. Todd took care of my situation as if it were his own. I would also like to say that I was very impressed with the tune and quick return of my pcm from Bryan@pcmforless. Wish I had some pics for you guys while the engine was out of the car but to be perfectly honest I didn't even get any for myself. She sure is purdy tho. Anyway I just figured I share, I don't know if anyone cares but I will certainly be glad to hear it run this week.

Later, guys,
Vicious

 

congrats man...im hoping to take my engine and trans out somtime soo to do a complete 383 rebuild plus a 150 shot of spray. good luck of getting it running.

 

Yeah, It's a good project. I hope to get my injectors tomorrow so it'll prolly run wed.

 

its an awesome feeling isnt it. I was ecstatic when I got mine fired up the first time after dropping it in.

 

Yeah I'm getting anxious

 

im right there with you, in the same spot.

 

same here, love it and hate it. im a nervous reck sometimes

 

I wish I knew the feeling your talking about. The only thing that is keeping me from getting my 396 LT4 monster in is getting an oil pan to fit correctly with it. It's been just over 2 1/2 years for me, but i've gotten everything done on it except for the tranny rebuilt, which will come once the motor is in and running. Good luck with getting yours going quickly, hopefully I can follow suit.

 

I'm really surprised at how well everything went. I was a wreck a few times myself but Murphy's Law must have taken a few days off. Other than a keaky waterpump I'm in good shape and I plan to fix that today or tomorrow.
