so she's up and running and driving? how does she run??

and what did you do to sort out the engine issues?

more complete pix when you can as well!


hey! well, she runs like a champ. idles at about 750 rpm with a pretty good thump. (roller cam, low 230's intake, high 230's exhaust, @.050, on a 110 lobe sep, high 500's lift.) she's got 3.23's in the back, we knew we were going to do a lot of highway, so we compromised on a more streetable gear versus the 3.91's i had in it. but that being said, she still gets up and goes reeeeeal nice when you put the hammer down! car drives great, sounds awesome with the side exhaust, (crossover, not quite as 'farty' as the small block with no crossover was) and is a general treat to drive. still need to address getting the alignment done, she is a little 'drifty' at higher speeds, not comfortable with that.

only thing, the engine builder is being a dork, and i have to take the engine out and down for a third time to get to the bottom of my rear main leak. we will get there eventually i guess.....

but, all in all, i am happy about our little monster!
