still collecting parts. need the trans rebuilt, a converter, flex plate, shocks, fuel cell, fuel system, hood and possibly a cam if this one wont clear the pistons. still need head gaskets, the heads to come in, radiator also need a good underdrive pulley as i dont trust my ASP anymore...i plan to take the truck down to the frame so i dont want to lose my entire garage when it's not ready to be done. working in a 2 car garage sucks. 1 little s10 can end up taking up the entire garage once it's disassembled.

i hear ya man,i had a ASP pulley come off on me
converter should be here friday. I went with FTI this time around. basically I had a choice between 2 converters. 4400 that would eat a 200 shot, or a 4500-4600 that would hit alot harder off of the line n/a but only take a 150 shot. 9.5" billet converter. I opted for the 4500-4600 and when the time comes to step over a 150 shot i can send it in for a free restall. if the planets align i think a mid/low 1.4 60' is possible. I can't wait to see what a trans brake will feel like.
my transmission is being dropped off with my builder this weekend. my powerbond pulley, head gaskets, arp head bolts, arp flex plate bolts, holley carb jet kit, TFS 225 and yella terra rockers are all cleaned up in the garage waiting to be bolted down. i'm waiting on my degree wheel kit to check the ICL and PTV before locking it all down.

long story on the cam...i slipped the cam in, and came up with a HUGE exhaust clearance number. i checked the ICL on the cam and came up to 100* instead of 106*...cam was ground incorrectly, i purchased the cam used from a member on another forum but the cam was unused. I called up howards cams and they told me to send the cam back ASAP. the guy on the phne was very helpful and apologised 10 times. although it was a sour taste having a cam ground incorrectly, his attitude and eagerness to fix the problem was refreshing. i wish more vendors were as helpful as howards was in this situation.
new cam comes in and the exhaust is clear, but the intake valve wouldnt clear the piston. no biggy, been here before. called up lindy tools and ordered me up a piston fly cutting tool. made some time over the weekend to cut the intake side on my pistions. i had to cut .090 off to get .072 valve clearance with checker springs. now i have .072 int and .099 exhaust clearance. i can finally zip this bad boy together and start worrying about getting a transmission going.
