    Again, thanks for the props...

    It'll have a short throw base, but it'll be a long shifter. Not sure on what handle, but I'll most likely keep the "5.0" billet aluminum handle I have. I'll take some interior pictures once I get the shifter boot and the gas pedal completed, which won't be until I get the cooling issue handled.

    I'll put it on the dyno after I do the 1.7 rockers and new springs. That's gonna be all the modifications for a LONG time, so I'd rather go ahead and do them before the dyno, so I'll know exactly what I'm pushing.

      "Long shifter"??? No, no, no, use a short shifter. Can you keep the bench seat or do you need buckets?

        I kept the buckets. I'm using a long shifter. I'm 6'4" tall, so I need to have the seat all the way back to be comfortable. A short shifter would eliminate that because I'd hardly be able to get into fifth.

          Your air filter seems to be very close to the shroud opening for the fan - are you sure it alrady ain't a CAI? I'd say for no just get a heavy-duty clutch for the fan (which you should anyways), slap a shiny heat shield behind the air filter (to bounce off heat waves from the engine and to direct the cold air from the fan into the filter), and call it a day

            That filter is nowhere near large enough to feed this motor. A friend and I are designing a CAI that'll take air from in front of the radiator or behind the headlight.
            Heavy-duty fan clutches are loud and annoying- I'm going with electric as soon as I can afford it, so I'm not worried about that.

            Oh- and I have bench seats, not buckets. Not sure why I said buckets.

                      Okay, guys- I have video. However, there's no sound (my camera doesn't do that)... but I do have proof that it moves on its own. I had just sucked an entire bottle of Seafoam through the brake booster vacuum and moved it closer to the house so people wouldn't bitch about the smoke in the streets.

                          It's not that cool, but it's proof that it's running. Hehehe. Runs a lot better with the thermostat and after the Seafoam treatment.

                                I was cleaning the interior before taking it to the carwash for the super strong vacuum and I found the old alarm remote. I threw away the shock sensor a long time ago, but the keyless entry still works. I'm gonna go to Wal-Mart and get a new battery for it, but at least I have keyless, again!
