finally done. 81 corvette
I just wanted to say thank you very much to everyone who helped out with any questions I had. im a ford guy so this is only the second sbc I have done so thanks for the cam selection and computer pointers.
I fired it up for the first time two days ago and it runs, looks, and sounds great! the guy I built it for will be very pleased!
I tell you what, thank God I labeled everything on that engine because it has a spider wed of lines on top!
I also successfully deleted the smog pump and all the lines as well as the egr system. it runs very smooth. I will have to take a picture of everything and a video of it running and post it up here.
thanks again! ford and chevy people aren't so different after all!
