By the way guys, we are in the midst of getting a shop. We already own a 248 dyno...now we need a home for it besides shoved in a corner in the back of a warehouse. We HOPE to be in a shop by this time next year...its hard to say though.

Did the same thing to my old car when I spun the 7th and 8th rod bearings. I'm sure Nate can post pictures of what he did to the car 
Looks familiar to yours. Its not that bad to work, just have to take your time and not to rush things. Oh and sip a few barley pops while your doing it

Nice to see an IA thread on here. I haven't been on the board much lately since the car is done for a while (except some decent tires) and the season is unfortunately done. Still I'm always up for BS'ing or turning a wrench. Just have to make sure Nate and Josh keep me in the loop.
-Nate I have that MAF whenever you need it.

Joel- Thanks. Next time i run into you I'll have to steal it for Jacob's toy. we finally have it mostly stripped only a few more hours of work before the chassis is ready for sandblasting. Hopefully this year it will run again, this time LS1 powered
RedRocketZ28- If you need a place to do the intake swap I'm sure we can do it at my parents place. I have all of my tools and crap there. Just let me know when kinda works for you, and maybe we can con Rodney into coming back to Des Moines.
