Caboobaroo Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 She did it for me. She fired up. After a year and 2 months for the build, she came to life today. She ran for about 15 seconds but she ran, breathed her first breath. I still have a lot to do like button the intercooler up, some vacuum lines, tuning, plus make sure my 5-lug is good and finish installing my XT6 swaybars. I spend about an hour on her today because she's sitting outside and its snowing now. Once she's on the road, I'm going to shoot for WJM's "very expensive, very powerful" EA82T. I might already have a set of headstuds that are stronger then ARP's and for about 1/3rd the price. I love being friends with machinests.
