I hear you on that. I am hoping I'll be able to make some of the events this year.

Still waiting on cams. This is as far as I can get for now.

 

[BlackGoose699]

You got any info on when they will be done?

They'll be here within a week or two. The stall and trans will take that long as well.

I need to order an sfi flex plate for safety purposes. I'd prefer to not shatter a stock one and loose a foot.

 

[Mattstang04]

Looks good, squeak. Really starting to look complete.

+1 on not losing a foot.

 

[squeak93]

I didn't get a whole lot accomplished tonight but I think and hope I got the dist box fixed enough to not cause issues down the road.

I literally hammered it back together. Hahaha. My prelim test says everything works so we will see.

 

[squeak93]

This beauty arrived today. Just another piece to the puzzle.


Still no cams.

 

[Stumbaugh]

Looking good dude! I'm ready to see what kinda numbers you get out of it.

 

[BlackGoose699]

The first time I put mine on the dyno the Camaro next to it pissed it self and call in sick the next day...

 

[squeak93]

It's just so pretty.

 

[Stumbaugh]

Circle D converters are art work.

 

[BlackGoose699]

That is sexy and it knows it, but I'll stick to my manual, it gives me something to do other then to try and keep the car on the road

Mine will be a full manual-auto car. Manual valve body, manual torque converter lock up and of course manual over drive activation. Just as well be a 3 pedal car at this point. Lots to do and pay attention too while driving or it'll burn up a trans in a hurry (if you forget to lock the converter when cruising in 3/4 gears).

I'm excited. And still waiting on the cams.

 

[squeak93]

These arrived yesterday. The question is to polish them or leave satin. Both have advantages.

[squeak93]

Got the new vacuum block installed to clean up all of the vac/boost references needed. Also got the drive shaft loop installed.

Cams are being ground today and should ship Monday.

Trans will be ready by next Friday and I have to call monks Monday for a start up tune.

I'm hoping to stab this pig next Saturday and fire it up. If that goes well we will schedule a dyno day for a couple of weeks out.

 

[squeak93]

More parts updates:

Just ordered hardened 28 spline axles, moser stud kit, new frpp outer wheel bearings/seals, drake main support cover, and RP fluid/frpp friction modifier and one of those fancy gaskets vs using silicone.

I need to call Monks at some point today for the start up and I'm waiting on the tracking number on the cams. Soon my friends, soon.
