jpmustanggt, i should be getting it tuned probably in mid june. i still have to break the motor in, and put a fuel system, nitrous, and blower on... i will be breaking the motor in n/a but when i hit 1000-1500 miles... i will put the blower on. i just want everything to seat before i let it get very small amounts of boost even.

the motor is in... finally!! i did it myself because i couldnt find anyone to help me drop it in... took alittle more time, but after tilting the motor some more and such with the bigger oil pan, it cleared the radiator cross member. and now everything is all good. i put all the wiring back on, and intake manifold etc... the only things yet to go in are the headers, a/c compressor has to be bolted on, and also power steering.... not bad for one person anda few hours of work.
i hope to get all but the headers on tomorrow since the gaskets should be here hopefully monday... this week, she will be out on the road for the first time since last year!!!
