well got the poly motor mounts swapped in and the rubber ones in the trash. josh how did your oil pump deal go?
also, i have been told the poly motor mounts can vibrate quite a bit on some cars, im looking forward to it so i hope they dont disappoint.

Didn't get to even start on it yesterday, but I'll be up all night tonight (or until finished) working on it. Shouldn't take long. I think the only thing thats gonna hold me up or be time consuming is lining up the motor mount bolt on the driver side. It gave me and the wife quite a fit when we swapped them out last time.

Well, I got it done last night. Cranked the car and oil shot up to about 60psi cold. So I'm relieved that problem is fixed, but I fear I might have another. When I dropped the oil last night it was very milky. No antifreeze puddles so I'm thinking it's gonna be a head gasket. Hopefully I'll get lucky and it's just from the broken bolt on the pan that maybe let some water in. Gonna get some sleep and then go crank it and see what happens when it warms up. Oh and the driver's side motor mount kicked my *** again, but I whooped on it and won lol.

I haven't priced everything yet, and this isn't everything I've got, but before I start a thread on crap I'm trying to sell, I thought I'd throw it up here. Some things I'll need stock parts plus cash, others I'm selling outright. It depends on what we're talking about.
30#svo injectors $200 firm price
25% underdrive pulley with alternator pulley
suspension (Sam Strano revalved Bilsteins front and rear, VERY CLOSE to perfect match BMR springs) $600 plus your suspension firm price
Ported/polished/epoxied throttle body
FTRA85mm lid with 85mm truck maf and adaptor
exhaust (pm me)
FTRA itself
lower control arms (red chromoly tubular)
relocation brackets (red)
panhard bar (adjustable and black)
powdercoated brakes ground for prostars (red)
line lock
MT 275/50/15 et street tires
Convo Pro skinnies w/ tires
Convo Pro rears, uncertain of size, was told 8", but don't think they are though. Maybe 8.5", maybe 9". Stick out a little bit more than I like. I'll look for markings once I've pulled the MT's off. I guess I could measure them.
Full dual stage nitrous setup with all the goodies
Lots of other little stuff, then I'm going to sell the car, but first I need a short block.
Probably going to sell the Patriot dual gold springs, hardened 7.4 pushrods, titanium retainers, all the other bullshit too. Be easier just to swap out heads if someone is interested.

Haa, that was weird! My brother told me him and dad talked to someone at Harbor Freight today in an SS.
Nope it didn't have my wheels on it, that was with the SS wheels all the way around. The weather was unbelievably good that day. It runs low to mid 12 usually. This car has no weight removed at all. Still has the front and rear bumper supports and all. He also has the black 11 sec TA and the yellow ZO6
Mods are:
Lid/filter
ZO6 intake
ZO6 cam and springs
SLP Ram air
Hooker Lt's
SLP Borlamouth
Vig 3400
3.73's
Weld wheels
So when I tell you your car will go 11's......

so i have slightly bigger cam, slightly smaller stall, 3.23s instead of 3.73s, questionable headers (hedman), and way heavier wheels. hmmm, sounds like us two would be a good match up. and i wasn't in my SS, mine has the motor held up by the ceiling rafters and no k member currently. ha ha. should be running by this weekend.
