Looking nice Strat!

I also have a little project going on my own that involves AFR heads and a Dart Little M block. I feel your pain working in a cold garage…sucks...

 

Holy **** man, I am sooooooo f-ing jealous of that motor! My SC still has the baby 2.8....with a few mods of course. Can't wait to see this beast done!!

 

Getting very close... I spent all of last Saturday going through ALL of the wiring, and tucking/resoldering all of the connections. Looks a lot less cluttered under the hood. Expect a video of the break in later this week!

Dude!!!!!!! You are putting our Sport Coupes back on the map. Thank you for that! I just wish I had your abilities & that motor. Can't wait to see more! VIDEOS PLEASE!

 

Thanks for the kind words! She has a long way to go... I'm not sure I'm changing anyone's thoughts about the Sport Coupes, but I love my car, and think I am moving in the right direction. It has definitely been an adventure (I'm just getting started), and awesome learning experience so far...

 

No need for any thanks! You have earned every word. Do me one small favor, please....keep up the excellent work promoting our beautiful Sport Coupes! This is a beautiful piece of work and I personally am loving it!!!! Just keep it going for all of us hanging on every update. You are the man!

 

First day of Spring, and it looks like the first start of the new motor WILL BE TODAY! I am beyond pumped. Expect a boat load of pics and a video tonight or tomorrow! It's absolutely beautiful out here in MA! Sunny and warmed up past 50 now.

 

....and then...?!!?

 

I'll have that stuff up tonight! Went without a problem. Hope to take the first ride today... Matt I didn't post anything up on FB last night because I skipped a few appointments to get it running, and didn't want certain people to see where I really was haha.

EDIT: Tomorrow maybe

 

lol, i know what you mean. for future reference, i have the settings on Mu11et Militia set to "private" so in the event you want to post something up in there, it will only show on the feed of those that are also in the group. it won't post up on your feed that you posted in the group to those not in the group

 

Any updates?

 

I feel bad for those following along! So the engine ran and was broken in... I have not been back since... It has been on my mind almost 24 hours a day since it ran, but I have been really busy with work. Hoping for the big break to come this weekend, and then I will be driving it every day!

 

Just thought I'd update this thread for people who haven't been following me on the MM Facebook group. Car runs great! I had some issues with push rod length selected by shop I work out of... For some reason they chose 7.5" length push rods when then the motor wanted stock 7.8" push rods. This lead to many issues (collapsed lifters) and for some reason both headgaskets blew! I tore into the motor with a friend Eric (has a badass 383 powered 1983 Trans Am) and it has been running great ever since! Been enjoying the car with the T5 in it for the time being!
