That's awesome, I feel like every time I do a major project like that I'm always nervous something will go wrong and it will be hard to narrow down what it is because you preplaced a ton not just one part at a time with tests in between, so for everything to work perfectly together in the end is just amazing. Now is the time to properly enjoy it... Whenever the rain lets up.

That's awesome Vic. We can't wait for the video.!!

Ashen 6.2 · 10-10-2023, 05:19 PM

Ahh, that first drive feeling!!

morepowerjoe · 10-10-2023, 06:27 PM

After my rebuild I'm still just getting to where I feel comfortable going wot after 6k miles. I have to say that's one hell of a build and my hat's off to you. Congratulations sir.

I bet it's a handful to say the least.

I am curious How different the Trans mount is, please post back, I do have the rev shift insert sitting on the shelf haven't installed it yet.

Joe.G · 10-26-2023, 08:00 PM

I just did a little research and supposedly my14 SS may have this mount from factory. I didn't pay attention when I was under there. Great build.

morepowerjoe · 10-27-2023, 07:55 PM

The car sounds very good Vic! It's really nice to see a great build like yours come together. Thanks for sharing your build with us and I'm sure you'll reach a goal.

Finally going back to work tonight (nope, maybe tomorrow).

My goodness Vic.

Yeah, I don't even know what to say about all that Vic, it's pretty insane the things that are going on right now in our world. Between all the wars, mass shootings, cops shooting SOME people for no reason, the presidential race, it's enough to want to move to mars. But with all that I still believe that there are
good people out there, they may be hard to find sometimes but they are out
there. Like almost all the guys on this forum including yourself.

morepowerjoe · 11-04-2023, 02:55 PM

Try Costco if you have them around!

FasNuf · 11-04-2023, 07:00 PM

If the women in those pics are any indication, I see why they're still looking for work.
Yikes.
