NOT REALLY THAT SMALL. I'll just let the pictures do the talking.


Some nice new brake line work for the new discs. Just need to do some bleeding.


I was so happy to get the engine off of it's stand - where it's been for almost 3 years.


I decided what a better opportunity to take a pic than this.


Almost there.


AHhhhhhh.... Sexiness...


Just love my march pulley system.


Can't forget our little helper


OH my F-N God.. Some more sexi-ness.


Still needs to come down some - stock suspension so that will all be changed out. But not too bad for a starting point


Here is my son Kai - looking at Andy setting up a ladder on my porch so he could get some "sky" shots. I think he's thinking "what in the world is this guy doing?"


Last but not least - the Ass shot. I think I may have to go a little skinnyer in the front tire. It is SUPER close to not tucking. I have a 17x8 up front with 245/45 on there. I'm thinking of going down on the tire, so I can slam the front down. smile.gif

Lookin' good... Obviously a 351, but what are the other specs? Rebuilt or crate? Where'd you get it if it's a crate?

Who sourced the AOD? I'm asking because, much as I like the FMX (yeah, I'm just weird that way); a little taller gears in the chunk are in the car's future; and that 0.67 top gear sounds awfully good for my gas budget

I bought it from a guy in Florida - He rebuilds them and gave me a great deal. I think I paid around $1300 shipped to the door with the high stall. I'll try to dig up his info and PM you with it.
