Thanks. I can't wait to actually drive it. I picked up a tranny jack adapter
today, so I will look into dropping the tranny tonight or tomorrow after work.
I will try some other troubleshooting first, like double checking the fluid
level and dropping the pan.
For the record, this is what my engine has on it right now.
Ported stock heads
M1
Mopar 360 PCM
K&N air filter
Comp Cams 604 camshaft
Mopar 1.6 rockers
MP .525 springs
MP aluminum valve covers
MP/DT headers
MSD ignition/wires
Once it gets running and moving, I'll swap out the injectors with some FMS 24#
units I bought. I also have a Magnaflow SI/SO muffler to put on, and I will be
replacing all the remianing exhaust with 3" tubing, which is what it has right
now, it is just rotted and clogged with carbon buildup. Have a set of March UD
pulleys to go on, and an electric fan conversion planned for later in the year.
Also there is a Transgo shift kit that I have not had the time to mess with,
and I still need to finish my ES bushing install.
I used to have a ported TB on it, but I traded it for some AC help. I may go
ahead and port my stocker again, or get a 53mm one instead.
Finally there is a Powerdyne s/c sitting in my garage just waiting to go on.
Should be a fun daily driver and one hell of a sleeper. Fast trucks with bad
paint!
Kevin
