Looking good so far Manny. Hey quick question Manny, I was thinking of putting LG headers in for a winter project in the garage. Is it a pain in the rear to do??...Or maybe I will come and see you in the spring for the install...A lot easier using a car lift :).lol

It has been done before , but you need to have the car at least 2ft in the air , to gain access . When I first started out that's how I did them , its not a fun job on your back :rofl:

Wait till spring and come and see me :D

Thx

Just wanted to take a moment and wish everyone a Merry Christmas and to say thank you for all your support this past year .

Hey Manny - how long does it take to change my torque tube couplers? I think I need some! :(
You only took 35 mins to change my oil pressure sender with only hand tools, soooooooo, about 45 mins? :D

a job for the early spring then.....or, I could drop it off now, and let you take your time doing it, as long as it's ready for spring, that way maybe I'd get free winter storage too! LOL!

Early spring is a best bet Dan , once I get the Nasty1 off the lift ,Niks Caddy is back in for another round of mods ...new cam new bigger blower :D
 
Ok guys , were back :D

First let me say that its been a trying few months with a whole slew of challenges , that included the loss of Rob's father on December 23rd from pneumonia , on the same day that my father-inlaw came home from a weeks hospital stay and after almost passing away from pneumonia .

Many delays with parts and machine work also have contributed to the the wait .

It's great to finally have the engine back here and getting it ready to once again roar to life in the Nasty1 .

Here are the first few pictures from todays assembly .

Rob says its good to go :

Early start tomorrow and we should put a huge dent in the project.
 
Thanks guys , its really comforting to have all of our friends here . This will be good therapy for Rob and peace of mind for myself . I really missed driving my vette last year . This year will hopefully be filled lots of seat time :D

Rob is on the way with morning coffee , and will be at it in just a few . I will again post up the progress later today .
