Here is the a pic of the motor being assembled. So far everything is looking on track. And also the engine bay is being sanded and painted.

Got the motor and transmission mocked up for driveshaft length. If the pushrods & driveshaft come in I dont see a problem with getting this car started next week.

Thanks for the comments. Progress is moving along. It should be ready for wiring and final touch ups and we should have it fired up.

Well we started the wiring and started getting all the relays ran, also the final piece of the motor came in today these manton (Nitrous Spec, 3 Series 3/8 x .145" wall diameter with 5/16 ball ends) to handle nitrous setup.

Plan is to have it cranked Friday

Sounds like my 6.0 before exhaust went on, hurt your ears in person I'm sure!

See you there.
