That looks too good to be waiting for a start up. I'd have to hook up the laptop and get it running. Very neat job on the install.

Looks great.

How can you wait that long? It would drive me crazy(er). Let us know your impressions when you get it running.

Thanks to all for the kind words and believe me if there is any way I can get the PROM any sooner I will. You can be sure I will be posting my first impressions asap. I've got a swap meet coming up this Sunday so if I have a good day I will be ordering it Monday.
If a certain person here on the forum would have followed through with a parts deal we had came to an agreement on the PROM would have already been ordered, but that's another story.

I have no tuning equipment and I don't feel that I would want to get into that sort of thing. I wouldn't know where to start. Thanks anyway.

Thanks Ray, I'm real happy with the look of it. I have a good feeling it will run just as good as it looks. How are you coming on yours?

It's close right at the throttle body which is the tallest part of the engine. There is approximately 1/4 to 3/8 inch clearance. I will have to see if the movement of the engine makes any difference but I don't foresee any problems.
