Hey, gang,
I thought this time I wouldn't beg for help but would thank all of you, again, for all of your help and information. The driveshaft ordeal has finally come to fruition and that bad-boy is now stuck between the tranny-mission and the different-shull where it seems to fit. It was so much easier when the front "yoke" could be removed from the driveshaft. I guess that's why Chevy made it that way - go figure.
I've got to tell a tale on Big Brother, though: we sat down at the computer one day and figured out the parts he needed to get the radiator all sealed up nicely into the front of the car, including the top and bottom cushions. Well, somehow he got ACI Vette and Corvette Central all confused and called ACI Vette to order all the stuff with the Corvette Central part numbers. He said that it was pretty darned confusing to him and to the guys at ACI Vette. They actually tried to figure out where to get the stuff after they figured out what it was that he was trying to do. To make a long story shorter, we did the cancel-cancel at ACI and got the stuff ordered from Corvette Central. We're looking forward to getting the cooler hooked up so we can run that monster motor more than just a few seconds at a time.
We'll be asking for help on exhaust systems next.
Thanks, again, for all of you guys' patience and assistance.
