Hey alls.... some photo updates.
here is how I left you alls off last time...
got the oil pump and waterpump housing bolted up...
cams in... timing components in place
ported early 2k1 intake in place and alt. bracket w/ alt. installed
motor going in place after installing the flex plate and rear main pieces
motor hangin out
all lined up... motor mount and bell housing bolted up
all finished up ready for initial start-up
all buttoned up after test drive... hood re-installed... needing a bath!!
so far... all is good... no leaks.. no problems that ive noticed.. idles smooth as glass and pulls nicely... not driving it hard yet but we'll see how it works out when I do...
i have a vid of the first start up but my camera is acting up... i'll get it up asap.
50 miles on the clock so far... and counting

I do suggest to anyone who purchases the full upper and lower gasket sets from the dealer... you MUST purchase the waterpump housing gasket, oil pump to block gasket, rear main housing to block gasket, and valve cover gaskets seperately.
