385 LT1 installed w/ Video
385 LT1 installed w/ Video Afetr 4 1/2 months of waiting my forged 385 LT1 is in the car. Sounds great and feels pretty strong. I got a tubular front suspension setup so the car is competely out of alignment to the point where i don't even want to take it to half throttle. Once I get the alignment I'll give you guys an update as to how its running and what the datalogs look like. Hopefully I can post a video up.

motor work including all parts and assembly and dissasembly was about 3700. Instalation was done by my mechanic which was another 650. however, the car's been a money pit the 7 years I've had it. its an expensive hobby.
i took the car to get aligned and the guy couldn't do it fully. he was able to make the car better than it was before but not fully align it. i'll be taking it to a different shop sometime this week.
hey what you doing creeping around the lt1 section...i have to get the car aligned man. the shop i took it to today couldn't get the job done. going to take it to another place saturday. after that i'll tune it for daily driving and then take it to the dyno. the way things are going i'd say 3 weeks before its on the dyno.

any higher quality vids (without trail written across 
) or pics I guess the guy wasn't skilled enough to do it. the car drives straight but the tires are facing inwards slightly. he was pretty honest about it. i'm taking it to this place my engine builder recommended this Saturday. hopefully they can do it. i'll take it there as soon as they open that way they can take their time with it.
