So far, So good! I can't wait to see what you think of your 406! It is soo much better than a 383! Oh yeah, that is just my opinion and I'm sure that don't count! :cheers:

cool, the 406 is going in soon huh?
couple of things to check before dropping the new motor in:
sensor hole's (I had one heck of a time getting the plug out just above the oil filter, square drive??),
ground attachment's (near to the above plug, threaded hole for ground wire's),
starter mounting hole's (check to see if all the needed holes are there, my block only had 2 holes and I had to drill another for it to work).

it's much easier to do any drilling/ tapping while its still on the engine stand!

Thanks guys,

Gonna be going back out tomorrow to degrease everything, clean up the mess at the dealership we made, and to hual the car/engine back to my home.

Well off I go! :cheers:

PS cork the reason I busted my azz last night to get it out and get everything taken care of was to watch you race Sunday. You better make it worth my while and get a 10s pass out of that car of yours! :D
