Slid tremec 5 spd into place.

Installed a new starter. Used one for a 1995 ram small block 1500 pu models

Purchased a full exhaust from TTI including headers.

No pics but I did measure and set my hydrolic throw out bearing 150 thousands off the pressure plate fingers.

I only had one thousands of runout. Four thousands is in spec 5 is out.

Seting up can be real tedious .

geting setup to dial indicate my bell housing ,cking for runout on center line.

Flywheel is bolted up. Had to take 1/4 inch off the flywheel bolts. I ground one bolt to length, Then I weighed it. Then I ground the next 7 to the same weight as the first. Yes it's a small block with a 8 bolt crank. We used a bigblock crank to stroke the motor.

Now it's time to pick a paint skeam. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!...?????????????????????????.. OK enough himing and hawing .. I GOT I T.!!!! 3 I'll incorpetate one of the body colors into the motor.😜

Once I got it home I spent a day cleaning and smoothing out the block for Paint. Now that this has turned into a full blown resto-mod, i decided to go alittle crazy on the motor.

It took a while to get the motor done. It was worth the wait. Vignogna racing built a real nice stroker motor out of my original 318 block.

Block was frozen up . Pistons were tough to get out. I let the builder handle that.

Finely back at it

Sorry it's been so long since my last post. I've been waiting to get my motor back from the machine shop. Got my motor back a few weeks ago. Finally got it painted. I've got pictures of everything. Hope to get them posted soon.

The shifter is not as centered as I thought. Not a problem. I will cut a block to space the shifter over and foward.it will all be below The console plate.
