Once I get it back, its a matter of wiring the holley dominator, plumbing it and it'll be ready to rock. Of course there are some small things like cold side piping, putting the interior back in etc....

I'm thinking 3-4 weeks once I get it back from madman. I'm guessing it won't be at his shop more than 1-2 weeks once I get it to him.
Thats not too bad, considering how much work you have done to this you are getting in the home stretch now. Can't wait to see it finished.

If your talking about $.............it's $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I look at what I've spent and then see guys like Carlyle and Berry's car and I can't figure it out. I guess some guys just make more money.

When I was selling my d1sc I ended up doing some trading/buying/selling and ended up with 2 d1sc's, an F1r and a completely rebuilt F2 from procharger with the upgraded bridge and trans case with the extra bolt holes, new impeller/bearings/gears etc. It was the nicest of the blowers so that is the one I stayed with. Wheeling and dealing prochargers is fun and can make you some money if you find them right. I have less than half of my original d1sc $$$ in this F2 cog setup.

Talked to engine guy today. Says it will for sure be ready tomorrow. I can't pick up till Friday so he has two extra days to get his **** together. We'll see how that goes. Once I get it, I'll devote a post to all the issues I had with getting this motor.

Can you explain upgraded bridge and extra bolt holes? Cause ny f1 has 4 little bolt holes above the pulley and i have no idea what they are for?

These are extra bolt holes where the volute meets the transmission case. Just more spots to bolt to the bracket. I'll see if I can dig up some pics. the holes you are talking about are for a pulley guard of some kind I would imagine.

As for the bridge upgrade, I don't know what it does or which blowers it affects other than the F2, but supposedly they came with an aluminum one and now they are upgrading them to steel.
