She's running!!!!!


and I already had an angry neighbor come storming up the street telling me to cut it off. Said "You have been doing this for the past couple of months"...ahahaha I said, I think your mistaken, this is the first time I have cranked it in almost 6 months...I apologized and continued to back it into the garage...

Wow---and you had mufflers on it right? (or was it open headers?) Didn't sound like open headers on the video. Was anything leaking on the headers or was that just the oil/grease burning off the header.

My guess is old oil on the headers when the old motor blew...Im sure they were coated..No more smoke now though...

And yes, I have straight pipes with xpipe, and small magnaflow magnapacks on the tips...It has a nice rumble to it

I have been up at a local shop I deal with alot for the past 4 hours. They let me use the rack for $80. They helped me check all the lines, driveshaft bolts, tightened up any loose bolts, fixed my exhaust from hitting on the back upper pan hard bar, installed my BMR Xteme Anti Roll Bar, tightened up exhaust, etc...Not a bad deal and it makes me feel alot better being able to get under the car on a lift and check things out.

Sounded freaking awesome and started right up no problems what so ever. Cant wait to get it broke in and on the dyno next Saturday. Now I really wish my car was not always broke down :dead2:

Went to crank it up to go to the local car show and the motor made this awful sound...Kept trying to diagnose it but coming up short. Finally decided to pull the belt to find out the bolt on my alternator fell off and the pulley seized onto the alternator and froze up. Managed to get the pulley back free, but the shaft has some wobble to it...

So I have to order a new Alt...Going with the PA130. Hopefully it will be here so I can still do my dyno day Saturday

Good move, TBH the stock alternator was going to blow sooner or later...better sooner.

Got my BMR Xtreme Anti Roll Bar installed, picture of my canton oil pan, and my hose routing for my heat exchanger/sc coolant tank/etc...It will get alot less mangly when I get my trunk coolant tank. there just isnt much room to route all those huge lines when your working with the engine bay/front bumper only
