if I can get my stall back in this week I could use the help this weekend! but thats only if I get my stall, i was supposed to have it last week. I sent it in to fuddle to figure out why the input shaft was too long, he said he would call me back last week and it would be done in a few days...

I have the worst luck with parts...

updates!



after many hiccups and frustrations I have come to more hiccups and frustrations.



I got a crapload of parts in, and picked some stuff up from the local hotrod shop.

headers



tq converter, long story short my other one was jacked up, John at fuddle hooked me up with this beast. I highly recommend working with these guys! this will take more power then I will ever make.



new overflow



got my axles drilled with new arp studs



I got my new tranny x-member and traction bars from Diabolical performance! Mike is awsome, the x member was a perfect fit and the bars are beefy as hell!
(its him in the pics not me)





I got a TON of other parts in but i'll update that later when my computer gets fixed, now onto the important stuff.

My garage looks like this right now.... how does a small truck take up a 2 car garage from wall to wall?



energy suspension bushings and end links installed with the extreme swaybar.



the blazer brakes didn't like my wheels so I picked up some half in spacers from the local rod shop and some longer studs. I picked up some upper controll arms from speedway motors with some new ball joints. belltech 2in drop springs and drop shocks. New ceramic pads are installed in the blazer brakes.




ripped out old tank and made room for my blazer tank. I have a walbro 255 that will be added to the blazer tank before it is installed. oh and I love my new sawsall!




I turned my ford green top injectors(42lb) into black tops, cleaned up my intake and painted to match the engine block, cleaned up the fuel rail, cleaned up the last of my accessories and finally got my engine in its final resting place. installed my new ac box, installed 4.3 throttle cable and installed my pedal. I set the motor too far back and had to elongate the holes in the mounts to move it forward enough to clear the ac box. I talked to brp and they designed new mounts that bolt into the stock frame holes so this wont be an issue for anyone else.





installed tranny x-member and heat matted where my cats and headers will be run. tranny member fits great! I have enough room for 4 inch duals under here!






Hopefully I will have more updates soon. I will be on TDY for 2 weeks, hopefully I will get my rear set up before I leave but i'm not crossing my fingers. I hade some slight fitment issues with the headers that I will be calling headman about, but I will be making these ones work with some steering shaft modification.
