    It runs and drives, got it stuck as soon as it hit the driveway which was ice. That was fun, 20 mins getting it back in the garage with a tow strap!

    I still have to finish up the intake, which will be in the pass fender. I mounted the intercooler in the drivers fender.

    I still have to finish wiring the car and the engine together. and finding a home for the ecm.

    But it's a big relief that my idea actually worked out so far.

    BTW... It doesnt crank that slow normally, I hit the starter twice rather quick that time.

    Welcome ,sweet car and motor:tiphat:. I have experienced vacume leaks, at the intake tubes, with this motor, keep an eye on that and good luck. They say that motor runs like a 5.0(y)

    The roads were dry 2 days ago, so I took it down the road. Besides it sounding rediculously obnoxious (open headers on a V6). It sure didn't leave me disapointed! Can't believe a V6 can have so much torque and getty-up.(y)
