I couldn't believe how well the trigger wheel fit that ATI damper, It was like MSD machined it specificlly for that damper! The mount for the sensor required a lil bit of thought, but nothing a lil time in the mill can't fix!

Most people give up on builds take as long s this one. What they don't realize is that it takes this long to do it right.

Great job and I hope it performs as well as it's engineered.

It is a lot easier to drop the car off at a shop and write a check, but you don't have the same pride in a job well done. My truck build is not nearly as involved or a beautiful and will be 2 years old in June!

bdmach1, your build gives me inspiration for when I have more time and a little more room.

I am real lucky to have a great bunch of friends who have some great skills! Without all of these guys, I could never have been able to put a car together of this caliber...

Figured I better update while I'm in here. So the engine and transmission are in the car for good now!!! The pics really don't do this any justice. I was really surprised at how easy it is to get the engine in and out of the car with the motor/midplates! The turbo kit practiclly falls on the car as well! There is one small hiccup in the turbo kit however... I had forgotten that I was gonna have a 1" spacer between the lower and the lid of the intake manifold. Gonna need to make a adjustment to the discharge pipe of the intercooler going up to the throttlebody! Here is a few pictures of the motor in the car finally...







Also I gotta take the alternator back off the car and do some machining on the mounts to the engine block, plus.....the thing looks friggin hideous compared to everything else goin on under the hood. The nickel and dime stuff is already starting!!!
