Alright, finished the header tonight. Done for now. I'll work on it more tomorrow.

Got the pilot bearing "installed" Need to put the tranny, clutch, driveshaft and pinion flange on tomorrow.

Really not looking forward to setting the bearing pre-load...

The intake wasn't bolted down when that photo was taken, I was just working on the fuel system.

Got the clutch and pressure plate on today. All our lifts are tied up so i'm trying to put the tranny in on the ground. It's being a bitch.

I'll post more if I can get it done tonight. Might have to call my girlfriend to get under the car and push from the cross member while I put the input shaft in.

Jesus Christ that transmission was a bitch. Huge thanks to my friend and coworker Russell for helping.

Like I said in that pic, the manifold wasnt bolted down because we had to remove it to put in the top two tranny bolts.

Alright, so I got the radiator, fan and Reservoir mounted today after work, along with plugging in part of the harness. I also fixed the hood issue. Got a pre-painted Roush hood scoop on the way so everything should be looking good once the scoop goes on. I'm mediocre at cutting a straight line so I had one of our fabricators cut the hood. She seems to be getting closer...

Yea the stocker is just on there to get the tune dialed in. I'll eventually be tuning her on my own so we'll see what happens...
