Default 6.0L is alive

Got it up and fired last night, broke in the cam and drove it to work this morning. Like every project there had to be a hiccup and I found it last night when the flex-a-lite controller decided to take a **** for the 2nd time (ground tab that goes into the circuit board loses contact with the board, this one is just over a year old). kinda pisses me off, not i gotta pay another $90 for a park that I'm not sure is going to hold up. Other than that she runs strong. Hope to have some pictures up in the next few days.
In the meantime I'll show ya these. Had to do something while waiting on parts.

Congratulations on a good looking setup! What cam did you go with? Have you had it tuned yet?

Well, here are the swap pictures. http://bertok.us/agreif/engine/EngineSwap.htm

Here is the cam comparison. Stock was 191/190 466/457 on 114LSA, new one is 212/218 558/563 on 115LSA. Got a higher lift to make up for not having as much duration just in case we even get the sniffer test up here (I know NYC already does it).


This is how bad I wanted to get it started last Wednesday, put up the pop up right before the downpour came.

Had to do something while I was waiting for the headers and computer to come. Ignore the fugly fan shroud I have on there for the mechanical fan for the time being.

Sweet, excellent pics and write-up I'm very impressed with your perserverance through the weather and your usage of the tent...I've been down that road before (damn northeast thunderstorms ) The entire project looks great

Nahh, I'm hoping for around 325-350 to the wheels. We shall see though. It is what it is, right?
