Did you remove the A/C belt? Common problem due to only one belt on crank. Nice build, get the parts you need but a quality rebuild might be necessary to handle the 403. That is a good 2004r core.

Problem with the Trans rebuild is that I just dont have the cash for it right now. I was hoping the deep pan and transgo shift kit could buy me some time to save money until the winter. But with the broken servo spring and missing 3_4 accumulator spring im not sure if I should just replace those parts and give it a try or not.

I'm gonna need some ideas on how to mount the new cluster and retain a few idiot lights, I'm thinking of making the entire face from tinted plexiglass to give it that ghost look when the lights are off. I think I'm settled on the kegs exhaust setup for around 350$ and then notch the crossmember. So as of right now the only things I need to buy are lock up kit, exhaust, and poly mounts for the Trans and engine. I will have to put it in high gear to have this thing running by the end of the month but I have faith somewhat. Tons of work to be done though so I really need to grind.

I got the Jeg's exhaust kit, and i must say if you are on a budget that is the way to go. Fits nice, and comes with everything. The only thing I'm going to do to mine is cut it off behind the rear wheels and make a new hanger, and put on some flomy's.

How do they sound now? A buddy of mine has the summit kit on his sbc nova and its loud mean and awesome lol. I have the 80. Series flowmaster on my Camaro and its a Lil more tamed compared to the 40 series.
