It's a pictureless post tonight..however, progress was made.

Starter done
Trans catch can done
Trans wiring done
Trans dipstick done
New trans fittings installed
Trans cooler lines done
o2 sensors done
Fuel line plastic cover thing reinstalled
Procharger head unit mounted
New 4.88" pulley installed on procharger head unit
Deconstructed the ATI damper in anticipation of the new hub
Steering reconnected........ here's where I ran into a problem. The steering shaft extension was hitting the header tube. This is not how it was previously. I put in 1/4" spacers to lift the engine on the motor mounts, precision clearanced the header tube and we're going to see how it goes. The true test will be under some load while turning. This took a lot longer than I wanted it to and cooked my night.

Both the fuel injectors and the ATI damper hub have been delayed in shipping, boo

That’s getting after it brother! You’ll be pressing the start button in no time.

Tonight was a little slower moving. Had a party for someone leaving the company I work at first and then back home for some garage therapy. I took my time to get every detail accounted for. The new ATI damper hub arrived today.

I got the complete super damper installed, the kinetic crank stud in, and the beginnings of the crank support installed.

Oh and my last bulb for my light broke so I wrapped it up with a harbor freight flashlight in my teeth.

Got to admit having the ability to rotate the crank with the crank support mandrel installed is sexy AF. Thanks @80FoxCoupe !

Anything to make working on the car easier is always a win!!!

Looks as good as new! In fact, better than new. Think Six Million Dollar Man.

Car sounds great. That’s a lot of oil changes you have planned. I was going to go about 100 miles on the oil that’s in mine , change it to synthetic, and call it good

Are you breaking in the motor on E85 ?
I was told better to use 93/race gas?

Yessir, e85. Fired right up, too. With the oil changes, I think it'll be good.

Go get em TW! Hit the highways and county backroads to get those miles in, so you can hit the track and have some fun. I will say that to me, your turn around time from being down to back up seemed pretty quick. What I saw was a man with a love for motorsports, who was determined to get back in the game ASAP (and you did too). I salute you (and your helpers), for a job very well done sir!
