Well it's been a long wait (over 3 weeks lol) but we should be good to go for Friday's tune with Monks. I was worried about the weather as I have to drive over 4 hours to get there but it looks like the wx will go north.
I've checked the car over a few hundred times at this point. Nothing sticks out at me as a no no, I have some spare t bolt clamps, belts (lol), oil, trans fluid, fuel filter, tank grommet (to do the pump and basket work), and spark plugs (extras). I'm not sure what else I'm missing other than filling up the truck with fuel/def and making sure the car has gas as well (that would suck lol).
I'm anxious to get this pig making and driving like it has some power.
I let it eat one day just for a moment and made a nice 7lbs at about 3500 rpm in third gear. No sign of belt dust or any slippage (better not with 8 rib setup). I'm still fighting a new oil leak I can't track down but that is what it is for now. It's not getting on the belt so I'm going to wait and figure it out another time (Likely the pan gasket giving me the finger, or the rear main decided it had enough).
I'll post some updates once we get it to make some power. Maybe Friday eve before we leave the shop or maybe Sat after I wake up.
