So after a year and almost a half i am about 2 hours away from firing up my car again. I did the teardown of the engine myself and had a near by well known engine builder who also has a SC rebuild the motor. I pulled an all dayer on the car earlier this week(since i work at night) The closer it gets to being time to try and start it I am losing confidence. I also reinstalled the motor and all components. Doing the brakes, cam, heads, a/c delete, intake, custom exhaust, repainted the engine bay and loomed it as well. One thing i have noiticed is that the tranny is leaking a bit out of what looks the like the bellhouseing. not sure because of immobility. I did put top up fluid in the tranny after it was all bolted up and ready. I will be doing a tranny flush soon after fire up and doing valve body as well hopefully. All my friends want me to call them before i fire it up so they can watch hehe, i will update you on my failure
