[Manny@Dasilva]

Ok we got going around 8:30am and its noon now , here is the progress :

My wife is just loving the hood in the living room (not)

Big whole to fill

Last minute touches before she goes in .

On the way in .

Torque tube / trans & diff going in.

Cradle going back in.

Drivetrain all in

Yes I know I sick , I polished the bell housing that no one see's

Pfadt motor mounts .

Heat Shielded starter.

Ok see you guys later .

Condolences to Rob and his family for their loss!

Glad to see you guys back to work on the Nasty1 looking forward to hearing her fire up soon :coolgleam:

Manny I told you before that there is not much on that car you have not touched or changed in some way, its like a new ride

 

[Manny@Dasilva]

All done for today , have a look see what can be done in a day .

Oil block and filter mag

3/8 Aluminum tunnel plate and shielding

Exhaust system (headers to Bassani's ) installed

All in and almost ready to rumble .

Yes, that is CT motor oil and not even synthetic ?
Stainless rings will not seat properly with synthetic , so we use any old mazola to get it broken in then use Royal Purple 5W30 brake in oil.

The money shots LOL

Tomorrow we will bleed out the brakes & clutch and do the electrical . Wire in the 99 ECM inplace of the POS 98 one .

See you tomorrow and maybe will post up a video after we light the wick .

[Manny@Dasilva]

As a matter of fact I did Dan

 

[Riley P]

Wowee wow wow! Holy crap Manny. I wish I had a third of your skills. I can't wait to hear the Nasty fire up!

 

[Woodstock Car Guy]

Nice to see your practicing your mechanical skills before you tackle mine in April - lol.

 

[Manny@Dasilva]

Hey Terry , were good to go nothing blew up on mine so your should be alright

Ok as predicted , its 8pm and the beast is once again ALIVE .

It was not out a few somall issues , TB not communicating and some quick EFi Live programming with the new 99ECM to pull it all together .

So here are the final pictures and working video for today . The next will be from the dyno and tune at Westport in a few weeks .

Just wanted to say a big thanks to all those who dropped in and my buddy Zweapon (Steve P.) for donating his TB from his 08 Z06 to getting my car running today .

Last I would like to didicate this build to Rob's dad , who was a car guy and very proud of the work that Rob does here with me @E.C.P

Ok here are the pics & vid :

Ok so what, I am supposed to do to get this ECM changed over from a 98 to a 99 ?

Holy smokes does anyone know how to wire this up :

Looking a little better.

Here we are all ready .

The money shot .



No bad for a self taught backyard mechanic and a buddy who is a real tech .

Thanks to all who helped with this build :

See ya soon.

IT'S ALIVE!!
