Good to hear you have it sorted out and running good Mac. I'm really looking forward to your next rear end thread.
Cheers I'm going to pound a few bourbons on your behalf, Put 'r'ther !!!

Who said I didn't?! Lol, I had the fenders covered with towels.

Yeah, I'm hoping were not speaking too soon. But I think she's happy now. Just wish I could road test it. Do I need to take it easy or anything for a break-in?

Horse trading = good. Laptop's still working good?

 

Btw mac i made some calls i found out who has my install dvd im gonna try to get it so i can send it to you. Forgot to mention that on that thread.

 

Lol, thanks Eric. I hope you're in for the night

Sweet. Be sure to copy any files you want to save to a flash or CD. I'll do a wipe of the hard drive and clean install.

 

Great work Mac! If you want I will send you my 455 and you can practice on it before you build your own.

 

Sure thing, Justin. Would you be able to tell if I send you back my 350 instead? Lol.
Thanks buddy

 

Just to close out this thread; after buttoning it up and cleaning all the oil from everywhere, I starter it up and let it warm all the way up to burn off the oil on the headers (I had the door open, of course). But the entire garage filled with thick smoke and continued after the headers were clean. I thought, oh great, I scored the cylinder walls or something since I saw the heavy smoke coming from the rear of the car. Well nuts, time for that 455? Nope. Oil had run all the way down the exhaust pipe on the RH side and was burning at the tailpipe! Lol, that was a relief.
Although I can't take her on the road yet (another 6 inches of snow last night), I can already tell the throttle is more responsive. And she just sounds better...smoother. Gawd I want to get her on the road!
Thanks for all the help fellas. Especially you, Copper.
