i hit a sliders and i think that is where i screwed up my fin, but then i broke off the little stub on the fin that keeps it strait. so now it dont work all that well. i dont know whats up with the binding i was puting it on and i ripped off the back grip so now its hard as hell to put on. and the board i think is cracked but i cant find one. ill let my little sister ride it next time, you know just to make sure everything is working.

I know someone else that has done this before. My only question is why would you do it that way? You're just going to have to seperate it later on anyway.

Cause I figured it would be easier to separate them on the ground then have to lift the t-case from underneath the truck. I'm going to put the engine and tranny back in together but install the t-case after...it should be easier than trying to wedge that huge ******* on the end of the tranny through the hole.

I'm hoping everything shows up next week...if so, I'll be re-assembling on Sat/Sun April 29/30. I might take Friday off too if everything is here.

Very cool. I'm hoping this goes very well for you considering the hell you went through with your 60E's. Are you planning a track outing soon after you get it in?

Hell yeah - I want to get the tuning as close as possible before heading to the track, and I want to give it time to iron out any problems that might arise, but hopefully within a few weeks of the install I'll be down getting some #'s. Then I need to have it dyno'ed again
