Congrats. Sounds like a 3 wheel ATC with no muffler. LOL. I'm sure it will run and sound much better when you have it tuned.

Not really major exhaust leaks, but just an open 5 inch downpipe.

The car sounds off, because it's not firing the trailing right now. I still need to figure that problem out.

Did you notice all the fuel dripping out of the downpipe ? My trailing aren't firing right now, need to figure that out. I'll get it figured out, this has been a wiring nightmare. I was just excited that it finally started.

Looking good, i'm jealous of the parts. I thought my Holley Blue was loud, but DAMN that pump is loud. Congrats on getting it fired, gives me inspiration to get my new rear end in my car...

The car currently has a 3 inch exhaust, I need to buy a 5 to 3 reducer so I can hook up the exhaust.

Too big ? Never.

I tell what, Nylon/Kevlar hoses are a dream to work with. Easy to build, no fraying, no pricked fingers, no shorting on 12V, light weight and Safe.

Very happy with them.

Congrats on getting her running. I have been following your build, and I am impressed on the unique setup. Can't wait to see that thing on the dyno!

... ford 8.8", moser axles with a four link setup.... are you sure this isnt a drag car???

Ultimately, would you let your own mother drive that car in metropolitan traffic... your definition for street car is skewed friend.

Awesome build and when you get the suspension dialed in, find a Z06 and rape it for the christening ceremony

TII lack of power

I know I'm a little late on this post but I figured better late than never. I came across a TII engine rebuild in a magazine quite a while back, the builder was from Langely B.C., Can. He did a TII rebuild that produced a reliable 700hp. I'll search my mags and try to find the article then I'll post his info( address and Phone #).
