Here's a video of the engine running with the new exhaust system we fabbed up. Very pleased with how it turned out.

Sounds good.

Thanks B.

Very nice man! One item off the check list!

Sounds good, neighbor!

Almost there, congrats Shawn.

Looks and sounds good. What cam is in it?

Sounds good, looks like a nice setup too!

It's a shame that it's under the car with how nice it is. Not bad for a couple dirt floor rednecks. ;) . Sounds tight as shit too. If I pull off this 68 camaro it will be Ls powered. Smr revolution ftw

Thanks King!:bigthumb:

Thanks Guys! Blew the exhaust back apart tonight, gotta paint the headers and come up with some plugs for the 02 sensor bungs. Gonna drop the driveshaft off at joint and clutch tomorrow. Also need to build a new tranny cross member. We cut the old mounts out of the floor to make room for the exhaust, so the new mount will tie directly into the subframe connectors. Also time to start the permanent wiring on this thing as well. Getting close. Ready to drive this thing!

Sounds excellent dude! Im going to drive mine tonight or tomorrow. How close are you. We should post our maiden voyage videos the same day! haha

Shawn you have been busy, looks like your doing some good work man. Cant wait to see it on the skreets.

Shawn, I got my 02 bungs from mandrelbends.com. I "may" have 2 extra.. let me look.

Just sayin.

Hoe snap!

motherfucking YES!!!

*SNAP!*

Don't lie. You know there is a tow truck just out of frame!! :poke:

hows it feel?

Damn that car looks good. My buddy's got a real nice 4 eyed car. 347/Turbo but it gets the job done.

Hard to tell with no second gear. FML.

Haha drove that shit out to SSS at about 11:30. The import guys seemed to dig it lol.

Thanks Qwick.

Need an adaptor for your laptop to tune your MSD?

Drive your street car to the mall and pick one up.

Have you figured out what kind of fuel mileage you are getting with your car yet? I know you dont have 2nd gear. But sorta curious.

Lol no. It sucks fuel I'll say that.

That was me honking at you earlier

congrats

Hi Jaime.:mrgreen:

Why no second gear? Because racecar!

Well ran the car for the first time last night... here's the slip.

http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...-07-16_160.jpg

Am I happy with it?.... I'm okay with it. I told Zac and Matt months ago I thought it would run the same time the red car went on motor...7.87 was the fastest it ever went. So it did what I thought it would. I think she will go 7.50s though. The 1-2 shift is very soft and delayed. Converter seems tight as well but might do better on the gas. 60 ft times sucked but the MPH seemed strong. It was also brought to my attention that the rearend is crooked in the wheel well. I knew it wasnt centered but I didnt realize it was crooked. So there it is. We got a baseline now, time to whittle it down. (No pun intended lol)

Nice, I'm sure you'll get that 60 down too. Not too shabby for a leftover 5.3 on motor.

Congrats. I assume you got a new trans in if you were able to use 2nd?

Yeah I picked up another transmission.

What was the timing at? And what jets are in the carb?

Thanks. Def gonna try and improve the 60 ft. Not too bad at all for what I have in it. Il take a 7.75 all day with an old worn out Tahoe mota. :bigthumb:

Shawn the car looked good last night and is running good. Once you get your trans to shift good, the et should get a little better. Your converter is indeed tight and that shows in the 60'. Mph is really strong. Car should do some high 11's in the 1/4. Your converter might like the gas though. Just keep the car straight on the gas just like I did last night! Lol!

Tried about every one of the MSD timing curve pills with no real change. It seemed to run about 7.78 regardless. It seemed to like the timing brought in quickly tho with the number 6 pill, which is what was in there when I ran Austin. That was also the 7.75 pass. MPH was between 91-94 pretty much every pass. I don't even remember what jets are in the carb. I can tell you its untouched from the Windsor. Only the idle screw has been adjusted.
