Yup... BTW I found my head bolts... they were on my engine stand haha! oh well. NOW the problem is that I didn't have the correct flywheel bolts, I'm heading out to pick up some new ARP flywheel bolts in about 10 minutes. With those I can torque my flywheel and start the engine today or thursday. I wanted to put the tranny and engine in together but didn't want to chance it with the wrong bolts. I will start the engine with no tranny just to hear it run. I need to fix the oil pan gasket because when I primed the oil pump the other day the rubber pan seal up front started to leak a little DOH! Either that or I will load the fugger up with black RTV silicone! I will pray that everything will start good... Didn't have much good luck thus far lol

BTW the car is getting painted this winter again. It's going to be painted the same color as Stangfreak's car! It's just a crazy ass nice blue, real flashy!
