getting there... 

the list keeps getting shorter, than longer 

so far this is the list:

-install motor mounts

-install axles

-install exhaust manifold studs, & hook up the exhaust system

-swap out the stock cam for the neuspeed one

-install TT cam gear

-torque down cylinder head & camshaft caps

-install water pump pulley and crank pulley

-install alternator

-install & tension timing & V belt

-install CIS distributor box, intake manifold, throttle body, etc

-time it

-fire it!

im sure theres more, but that should keep me busy for a few days

oh yea also have to:

-bleed the brakes

-hook up the e-brake

-adjust shift linkage to make sure it goes in all 5 gears

but thats all ( i think)

good ol presidents day means no work so im working my ass off (not really) to get it done

1/17/10

its amazing what i can accomplish when im not out drinking on a sat night

hooked up the whole exhaust side of things tonight, though ill still need to get the downpipe welded up to my current (2") exhaust. i should be able to get a 2.25" exhaust in the next few weeks, but ill worry about that after its on the road.

still got the pulleys & belts to deal with, finalizing the brakes, and figuring out little random items (5th injector, brake booster vacuum line, throttle cable bracket, wiring up a coolant temp sensor, and more!) but i still have sunday AND monday
