    As long as the hole is perfectly circle with no nicks or damage to the edges it does not effect the strength.

    Oh yeah, I will fill the converter before installation, and trans once lines are run before first start. Unfortunately did not get the motor stuffed again as planned. Family stuff came up on Sat, then the weather was brutal here yesterday so I didn't want to risk leaving one of our daily...

    Oil Pressure Gauge Help

    I have always just drilled a 1/2 - 3/4 inch hole through the firewall next to where the clutch cable goes through, and bought a rubber grommet to keep it professional looking and not have wires run over bare metal. As far as Teflon tape you refer to, get it close to the end of the threads, just...

    Engine Head Gaskets Again

    Trying to drop it in this weekend. I've been home for over a month, and have had the motor since I got back. Haven't had the damn time to do it though. I pretty much have everything else I need to get it up and running minus the trans cooler and lines. Wiring is going to be fun. I'd love to...

    Well 408w long block has been on order for a few weeks now. Ended up going Coast High Performance, late model F4TE block, forged crank, H-beams, and pistons. Went with AFR-205 heads, and they will be doing a custom grind cam for me based on the car, trans and usage. Still deciding on what...

    Any update? I have a fresh fully built C4 sitting on the bench at home, as well as a nice set of slicks and skinnies. Will start working with Coast High Performance here in a few weeks to start the 408w build so it's ready to ship by then time I get home in December.
