Should I be worried that my post showing the LS1 was when we had 6666 threads in the NW section?

Nope, left my PS stock. It's perfect for me, just slightly over powered and light at higher speeds where normally the ps would be turned off. I kinda like it actually. We will see how I like it at the AutoX next weekend. XD You coming?? (SSSCC)

NoXi: I will post some pix and such laters. I should be taking a bunch at the AutoX during down time. It was super stupid simple to install it seriously. Once I got all the parts it only took 4 weekends to have it DD ready, and 1 more weekend for race ready. It might be from learning to be a professional mechanic through 12 rotary engines that made installing the ls1 so simple. XD

I haven't done it yet but since its not raining I'm going to move the FB so The welder can reach and get the patch I made tacked in. Then I'm going to prep the engine bay for bed liner.

Got the patch welded in, the welds ground down, covered the welds in seam sealer to fill any pin holes, and sprayed the area with some primer. Put some bed liner in the corners and cracks with a brush. Hopefully gonna pick up a gun to spray the bay with the bed liner this weekend.

I updated the exhaust with a 21 year old rotary engineering glasspack. It will sound good.

Started cleaning my "new" transmission I bought from Jeff20b. Its lookin pretty nice. Its got a new shifter spring and rear seal. Tomorrow I'm going to finish cleaning it and replace the rear seal and the gasket.

I feel like I'm making progress on the FB. I can't wait for it to be running again.

That's a good question, i'll have to pull out the receipt if i can find it, lol. I believe it was between 250 to 350. I might have gotten a deal on it though.
