That looks really great Rook. Can't wait to see the beast thumping under the hood. I know it probably makes you cringe to think of spending any more money, but you might want to beef up that tranny a little. Consider a 2500 stall converter, hardened 4th clutch shaft, etc. Just a thought.
I'm already expecting to buy a PT and MPS. At $500 I still need to spend, I really don't want to invest anymore at the current time. I will have a spare tranny to play with though.
I really got into tearing the engine compartment apart. Yesterday I took the bumper off and drained the radiator, etc. So, today I took out the wire harness (omg, what a pain, mainly due to the little harness clips), removed the PS pump, disconnected the tranny lines, unbolted the front engine mounts (had to the get the harness off), removed the intake, disconnected the throttle and cruise cables, removed heater hoses, as well as the evap line, body vacuum line, and brake booster line. Hopefully I only have 5 things left: fuel lines, axles, tranny cable, a/c, and downpipe.
