Last night, instead of doing homework like I should have, I went back out to the garage and finished taking the radiator out. The leaking line was tight, which now makes me wonder what the problem is/was. I replaced the brass fitting that goes into the radiator and put it back in.

I hooked all the hoses up but didn't get so far as to put the fans back in. It was too late to start the car (particularly with no exhaust system) so I'll have to wait until tonight to see if it still leaks.

made one side of my adjustable/removable seat brackets for my kirkey seat

Seat sliders always break so i thaught of this design. I know it looks a little hardcore with those grade 8 bolts

Today

Put a Moroso spiral racing muffler with a stainless turndown on the downpipe this evening. Sounds good.

started off good.....

Ended very badly...............This morning I finally got around to installing my shifter console plate for my Prostick. That was a real joy getting the shifter positioned just right. cut weld fit, cut weld refit and on and on.

So I get that finished and i get the cable adjusted just right. I take for a ride to check it out. (th400 w/reverse VB) I get out on the 4 lane road and foot brake at about 15mph in 1st gear. I loaded the motor for just a second then smashed on it. Boost was instant.........Like a nitrous car instant. smoked the ET streets through 1st and halfway through 2nd then the car started cutting out. I wasnt in the gas but for about 3 seconds or less. I didnt get a chance to look at the boost gauge cause my head was pinned to the seat. :biggrin: . But i am positive it hit well over 30psi. My stupid @$$ hooked up the tial wastegate wrong. I pulled the drivers side head off tonight and it is not pretty at all. Motor is coming out so i can have an easier time fixing the head gakets and all. I cant believe i was that stupid. I know better than that. oh well such is life.

well

well today was a long day for myself.Started the day of by driving to phoenix to picked up alittle somethin somethin .The good news is the motor is in the car. the reason for taking it out was so i could paint the block and put new freeze plugs in the motor you know to make it faster

i have a quick silver shifter i have to mount.

Let me know how that goes, I've been thinking about an aftermarket shifter for a while.

Too cold and rainy to do anything to my car today but my package from Summit arrived with all the stuff I need for my external oil cooler, so now I just need some spare time to pull off the infamous F-body radiator swap.
