bigger better faster build

No I didn't check the diff... But I will now lol. The IRS sits up pretty high so it "should" be fine, the air filter sat very low (right behind the driverside fog light) and that is why it sucked water

I have a mud sucker on my car so I worry I will end up like you. I am taking a transmission/tranny/transfer case class and the instructor told us about the people who go swamping and change out the diff fluid after every event rather than put the breather up higher

I've seen pics of a Ram Air 6 all huggers orange and they look incredible.

I just hope after all this I can hook... If I do hool I see a snapped driveshaft I'm my future lol

[cammed goat]

And THAT'S when you get yourself a one-piece driveshaft.

[mark21742]

[JAX04]

Custom SFCs with a roll cage is in the cars future...who knows what else after that... But if the floor was cut out it would be a hell of a lot easier to get the cage in lol

[JAX04]

Your damn right man, plus with a tube chasis, youd save a shit ton of weight! hmmm, 9 sec goat, all motor???

[GTO1_OHIO]

Interesting build , can't wait to see what she runs.

[mark21742]

Had to go to work all day saturday, went out with tyhe wifey sunday and back at work again now so I didn't get much garage time this weekend.
Got a few more things done and my new pretune ready to flash into the pcm.

Still need to put the oil filter on, oil, coolant, tighten the engine mounts, and bleed the brakes, hoping for a short (under 10 hour) work day so I can get some more done this afternoon.

[mark21742]

Here are a few pics of the build
The 404 short block out of the crate

The Edelbrock Pro-Flo XT is bigger than my dog. Einstein stood there and growled at it for a good 5 minutes lol

[mark21742]

While I was wrking in the garage we got alittle snow (3 foot)

fresh paint on the water pump

[mark21742]

Fast 90 and a shot of the intake ports. I took a lot of material out of the ports, bowls and opened up around/ knife edged the guide, blended everything, and lastly hogged the intake runners out and port matched the intake and heads

Hogged out, ported and polished exaust ports
one more shot of the hogged out intake ports
