UPDATE: 3-10-08

Called FP today. At first, my bearings were possibly going to arrive this past friday. Then it sounded like Tuesday would be the day. Now Greg said they should be here Thursday this week. As long as they get here this week its the same to me!

Looks like a nice set up Nate, when do we get to see some numbers?

So I dropped the transmission today and replaced my leaky rear main seal, looks like who ever put it in didnt set it in all the way. Ofcourse when putting it back together I find my transmission dip stick seal is torn. Doubt I'm gonna find one of those local plus the trans has to be loose from the engine to get the dam tube out all the way, ****** hell. These things happen.

UPDATE 3-17:

Nate pulled my engine apart and saw that it needed a fresh align hone and mains shrunk.....thanks to my POS converter pushing on the thrust. Bill is doing the machine work this week and if all goes well I will be out there this weekend helping, okay watching him re-assemble it!
