Well boys after waiting for my bellhousing and fuel lines to finally come in I had the day off yesterday and was able to bolt the rest of the car together and fire the new 5.0 up, and man does it ever sound and run great! No check egine light, and just fired right up with no compications.

In case you don't know the car use to be a basic 3.8L, i have been working on it for the past month or so in the garage back yard style. And without many complications the swap was a success, along with all the after market goodies.

The car now has a rear spoiler, pony wheels, leather interior, a Vulcan reman long block, center force dual friction clutch kit, new flywheel, BBK chrome shorties, off road x-pipe with flowmaster 40 series, complete MSD ignition, NGK aridium spark plugs, smog pump delete with shoter belt (90.5 if anyone needs to know) and now all i need to do is bring it down to the shop for new shocks struts and my lowering springs, as well as my tires, and to complete the swap i need to complete my 8.8 swap with 3.55's. (still in progress of rebuilding)

If anyone has any questions about the swap please ask! Well i guess you could say i'm a pretty happy guy and i will post some pictures as soon as it is out of the garage and do a big smokey burn out for the boys. Cheers

Dagz :SNSign: ya boys thanx for the help
