    Just went to fire up the engine and.....

    IT LIT RIGHT UP!! ITS ALIVE!!!!!!! I have about 8 exhaust leaks though, booooo. Just gotta wire the Black Magic electric fan, install the lowering springs, shocks and struts, then its off to break in the engine tomorrow. I can't wait. This has been one long ass haul, thats just starting to pay dividends. Thanks to all who helped out.

    First off Keith is awesome, he explained everything he was doing as he did it. The bad part came when he told me I had a blown head gasket!! OUCH!!! The motor was WAYYY down on power and kept overheating and pissing coolant out the overflow. They did a test for combustables in the radiator and it came back positive immediently. Bummer man, I was soooo looking fwd to being done with this project. I am consulting the engine builder to figure out our plan of repair. Crap day, man crap day.

    Mod are as follows....
    newly built 306ci, with old 289 heads (dont ask)
    Professional Products Typhoon intake with 1" spacer
    BBK 70mm throttle body
    24lbs injectors and C&L elbow
    MDS distributor and coil
    Black Magic electric fan
    3G upgrade
    TKO 500 trans
    Cobra bellhousing
    steeda clutch quadrant
    hurst shifter
    cobra clutch
    3:73 gears
    aluminum radiator
    poly motor mounts
    eibach pro springs
    JBA catted X pipe
    subframe connectors
    17" Cobra R knockoffs

    Are you ever taking it out to the strip?
