Warren with the car in cali it will be easy to work on and you got people who will help u out. So good luck with it all if u need help speak up

Yessir!!! Thanks bruh!!!The car will be back at Tha Roc shop this Fri eve or Saturday morn. Once that motor is dropped in its either being driven home or towed. Im not leaving it there with the motor in it. LOL! Nothings left to do for the el other than wait for parts to come in the mail. Since we arent worried about firing it up, Im not tripping on if the goodies dont make it in time. What I am worried about are the parts that are out ther in AZ getting done. I wanna bring all that back so I can dedicate my dyas and weekends up til the 21st of Oct workin on the El.. I was looking at all the stuff here and adding it up :shock: Thats not including the goodies in Az and whats coming. Mel was laughing cuz this was supposed to be a quick lil drop in. Then the "Well I could just clean this up" bug hit me and now Im broke! 😛 Got the lil prob with my parts taken care of with Summit. Stand up folks over there. Got a return ship label and I'll be sending it out today... Friday cant come quick enough!

Diiing Dooong! Ups calling...

B&M Super oil cooler kit...Gonna have to find a spot to mount it. Could go on the condenser but the more stuff mounted in front of the radiator, the less air hits it..I have the trans cooler goin on the condenser also. I gotta notch the header panel to fit the trans cooler. That thing is BEEFY!!!

Oh its gonna work out nicely!! I have a few other parts to get like the GForce x member, Flo's 40 series mufflers, Tires and all the fluid and stuff. I still gotta do the braided lines for the power steering pump and other lil goodies. This motor transport situation is gonna eat up a lot of the funds :x Swingin out there Friday right when I get the truck. I could get it Thurday and load it up. Then hit the raod friday right when I get off. Hmmmm

well sounds like your on the right track if your towing the car with a tow dolly back make sure you dont put the drive shaft in as you dont want to burn up the trans. glad to see your on the right track...maybe we will roll out to vegas together after all...lol
