Have fun Glenn. That first time out is always worth the wait, especially when it is successful.

That tranny will last for years. Probably good for 1500 HP, so whip it!
Good luck with the rest of the build.
Cheers

Man Glen can't you do better than that? Would think you could hit 8.002 at least.   Good job now go tune it little bit pull .010 out and you should be jammin.

Dropped the engine and tranny in my new build ---getting closer
I have always had a fascination with fast cars at the expense of more normal character development

I always put customer projects ahead of my own....After a couple of weeks (must have been shipped by mule train) I received my new CVR oil pump and pickup. Actually the pickup was the delaying factor. Installed the new parts and fired er' up.  75 psi idling cold 65 hot (with 50w Kendall) that's more like it! Hope to test in a few days. If sound counts, it's a Mighty Mouse. :D
