Well I finally started tearing everything off the car this weekend so I would have four days to put it back together next weekend.

Here's how far I got.

BUT I couldn't get the passenger side header in, I tried everything even annealing and massaging the the header to try and make it fit but that stupid AODE is the way along with a motor mount. :shrug:

Me massaging the header.

Well the only good thing about pulling the motor is I'm going to put the TFS1 cam in ( I was going to sell it and buy and FTI which will have to wait till I build the new shortblock).

Well I had to wrap it up and tow it back to my barracks till next weekend so I had to stuff the car with old and new parts.

Trunk was so full I had to drop the back seat to get my breaker bar back out.

Anyways If anyone has done this trickflow H/C/I install any tips would be greatly appreciated before next weekend would be awesome!!!! I already have the oil fill kit and T/B adapter.

P.S. I know its a long post but I didnt want to make 10 little ones. :D
 
Yeah I cant wait to hit the bottle but I'm going to make sure everything runs right before I'll use more than a 75 shot. :D

just checked out your website how did your install go?
