Got everything back together late Sunday night, ready to go for it and no start. So Monday morning do some quick troubleshooting and I go get myself a 150.00 starter(BITCH), and it fires right up. A little more noisy, mostly valve springs and a much more badass idle. :evil: :evil: :evil:

Take it for a test drive and my buttometer tells me that I have a faster car. Revs like there isn't any load on the engine, probably feels closer to an LS1. I didn't want to go much above 5k though, but the bitch will get there fast and is just starting to make power. Way fun :D :D :D

Get it back and I have a badass oil leak at the rear of the oil pan. I kind of halfway expected that, cause I knew I didn't get it on right until it was too late. I was hoping for a miracle, but that isn't going to happen with this car. Anyways probably won't get to fixing that until this coming weekend when hopefully this nightmare will finally end....:oops: :oops: :oops:

Yep thats about right. I could probably even go as high as 6500 but I'd rather not be doing a bottom end rebuild in the near future.

It would be cool to see you. Besides I haven't been getting hassled by any women hoping to get in porn movies since you left. 8)

Yeah Bo, I'm pretty much an expert on what not to do as you do this swap. Seriously though after doing it once I could do a much better, faster job the second time.
