Hey Dude,
That looks really great and a nice job well done!
Bet youre still going to find even more things under the hood to polish and shine that you cant leave well enough alone eh?

It's funny you mention that Jeff. Until I saw Rich's(corvette0096) billet lid, polished; I didn't like it. The way it comes is kinda icky. Once it's mirror polished, it kills the look of the striped lid(jmho).

You've got a nice looking motor also! Thanks for the comments.

Thanks Rich! It's nice to have it back. Hopefully you got my IM.

Gabe, I'm calling tomorrow to see if they're ready for the DFI. I'd like to wait 'til that's done as it's rather pricy, and God help me if something broke before that went in. My luck isn't the greatest ;)

Believe me, I don't want to make 300 runs, but a nice few clean smooth mid 11's would be great. IT WILL happen. :yesnod:

I know actually how you feel. Fired ours up after it sat for a year back in August. I'm going to get some dyno numbers on the 16th. Can't wait. :cheers:

It was short lived :) Well, the car is fine..but it was back in one piece Friday. I got back from dropping it off for the new fuel injection. It's still rich as hell..so hopefully a little more power will come out of it. I will keep you updated. I don't plan on it seeing any time sitting once all is well. The thing sat enough this year!!! :crazy:

Congrats Bro!

Man that's a sweet looking engine. I can say I knew you way back when it was a red stock looking 90 with chrome factory rims :D

Ciao
