Awesome project but (and don't take this the wrong way) it would be finished now if you didn't have so many other projects! How do I know this? I suffer from the same problem haha

[flight704]

neonsnoozer believe me i know how much it sucks. anyways like i said before its a patience thing it doesnt cost me a dime to sit there until i get out of financial hell!!!!

shelby its an ax15 tranny. and i do have 2of them to go through before i have to find an upgrade. not sure how much power ill make with the boost limitation of 14psi because of the webers, but when i take the hood off it will be different which is what i set out to do.

got my motor out of the machine shop this week / decked allignbored and punched .030 over making custom motor mounts now and starting reassembly for the 2nd or 3rd time anyways ill keep you guys posted

[01NeonSnooZer]

I wanna see youtube videos of it when you get it broke in. I wanna see underhood shots, hear it idle and see it go down the road and/or track. I want dyno numbers, too. I await anxiously.

snoozer ill do what ever i can . it might help to get it running again first lol

i got my main bearings in this week and i ordered my arp head studs today yip yip yipppeee still inching along lol

[01NeonSnooZer]

Long as you're making progress. i like That concept, though. I'd like to see a blown 3.9 2nd gen Kota 4WD.

Man, if you werent in Ohio, I'd offer a pretty capable hand but since I can't help, I'll ust watch and cheer you on, lol.

got my arp head studs and a set of clevite 77 rod bearings. last week. i now have everything i need except a head gasket. i have a fel pro but they dont do well in turbo dodges

i started putting the long block together today and it appears i have lost the front intermediate shaft bushing somehow. i had to order a head gasket anyways i guess ill order a new set of them as well. if its not one thing its another i sware. anyways progress is still inching along.

just a couple weekends more and it should be breathing or puking fire lol. i am going to the chryslers at carlisle show next weekend. i bought my 11 y/o son a 73 dart sport for us to build together for his first car. i have to go there to pick it up.

snoozer you are more than welcome to put some time in if you want to lol.

[01NeonSnooZer]

I am living paycheck to paycheck right now and can't afford to come help but I really wish I could cuz that's one project I'd love to have my grubby little mits in.

[flight704]

found a front inter shaft bearing and its in there like prego lol.
crank is in. hoping to get pistons in and rod bearings torqued and have the bottom end sealed up today yip yip yipppeeee

[01NeonSnooZer]

Sweet. Progress is awesome.

On another note - I payed my car off today. No more friggin car payment, whoohooo!

Looks like maybe you don't have Earthlink anymore. Do you have a new site with your pics on it? This sounds like a sweet project. I'd love to see some pics.
