I like that shot with you, the engine, and the BBQ grill. It reminds me of all the fun I'm going to have cooking out with friends, enjoying a beer and working on the old Vettes.

Default Thanks a Million

I would like to thank everyone on the fourm that has answered my questions and provided support. I could have never made it this far alone. The engine came from ProFormance Unlimited and the Trans is a BTO 2004r, Todd I have all the wires run and stuffed into existing harness wrap ready to hook up, the reason we could not understand the wiring for the AC the other night is it takes a seperate relay. Don't have a heart attack but my Dad got the boxes from a guy his friend know for $800 with tools (not snap on) My dad had loaned him $300 for a car payment then he got 2 DUI in a week. So my dad's buddy talked into $500 more for the Boxes and 2 days work on my car, but he was a no show. My Dad didn't like the way I was trying to remove the old shifter detete so he said he was going to walmart to get a grinder but instead returned with a Air Compresser with air grinder, then later brought a Impact, ratchet, and air drill. Early B-day & Christmas. I hope to drop the engine in tomarrow. Got the converter lock up wired today. That's a tight fit for a fat-boy under the dash also removed gas petal to run new cable so I spent all afternoon on my head. Matt anytime your ready it's not that far down here from Missouri I'll fire up the grill I can cook a whole case of babyback ribs at one time. I will post some more pic's when I get the engine in thanks for your interst.
