There is nothing like the sound of a fresh V8.
Great sound clip Jake...
The install was so fast...nice Christmas present for the family! Warmed my heart.

It's been a rough couple years for Dad... to see a big smile on his face when we got it done was priceless to me. It will be one of the moments I will cherish for the rest of my life.
All those Christmas Day's where he worked hard to make it the best for us... it was so nice to see a little joy on HIS face for once. Thanks, Roy.

Yep... Going to do a 1500 mile break-in period. The clutch needs at least 500 miles (according to Centerforce). First oil change at 300 miles... then change plugs and oil/filter again at 600 miles. Then switch to Royal Purple oil at 1500 miles.
...... got a lot of driving to do. :rock:
:burnout: Going to see if I can slip in to the dyno shop and get the a/f ratio (carb tuned) next week....

That's what I'm afraid of... they're going to be looking for a O2 Sensor. :laugh: :dontknow:
What the hell is wrong with you Jake? That thing sounds like a taxi motor.:elefant:
Where's the big ass lumpy cam that shakes the windows?:dontknow:
Good job kid. Your dad is damn lucky to have a fine son like you.:rock:

Not as much lope as I would want... but the (AFR) heads I wanted to put on there would require a high-rise intake, which wouldn't fit under the stock hood. And I HATE the stinger hood.
The stock heads (aluminum "L98" corvette heads with some updates) won't take much more of a cam. I guess it could, but the bottlenecks elsewhere would make it useless, besides the lopey sound. :dontknow: ....But, I do have to say.... It sounds WAAAY better in person (especially around 3200-4200RPM... which is the limit I set for my right foot... for now).
:burnout: One other thing tho... If you know anyone rebuilding a Muncie 4-Speed... They NEED the updated side cover from ARM. The damn thing shifts like a f*ckin RIFLE-BOLT now!
By far, the best part I've put on this car. http://www.tbtrans.com/muncie_4_speed.htmThanks, John... you are too kind, my dear furry friend.

Well.... The coil (MSD Blaster 2) blew the points in the distributor... Went through two sets of the "hi-po" points and caps before giving up. :argh: Finally broke down and bought a MSD Pro-Billet (8572 w/ tach driver) and 6AL box from Summit. ...... The only thing I hate more than points are those damn (goofy assed, hillbilly-lookin, big-assed) ignition boxes. :argh: :argh: :argh: Now I gotta find a place to mount the damn thing. :dontknow:
.......... There's another $600 over budget!

Yeah, me too. Real cool whine from the trans. :rock: This one is either an M20 or M21 tho (pretty sure it's a M21, as the ratio is short) so no whine.

Some of the Corvette guys say I can put the box behind the radio... never even thought about putting it inside. :dontknow:
I just need to find a grommet to run the wires (the firewall is about the only "original" part on the car, and I don't want to drill through it). ...... Why the hell does shit always have to break on a Sat/Sun, when it takes so long for stuff to ship?
:argh: Parts should be here on Wednesday. I guess that gives me plenty of time to figure out where to put it. :toilet:
