lol we would...but kinda need a tranny too
Should be rolling by the end of next week, gonna pick at it everyday after work little by little. Just have to marry the tranny to the motor and fab up a mount/crassmember for the carrier bearing.

we guys got an update for ya...we ended getting back the input shaft from the machine shop and reinstalling it in the trans...then we tried puttin the trans back in and she slipped right in...SBChvy made a custom cross member to hold everything in place...
next on the agenda was to get the driveshaft in...I got one from a ECSB 2wd auto so i needed to make a carrier bearing mount...got that taken care of so now we need to bleed the clutch and fill the trans with oil...I could have drivin it this weekend but, i ordered a GTO starter from an aftermarket supplier, and they sent me the wrong one
...the nose on the starter was hitting the bellhousing so that wasnt gonna work for me...and GM wants $508 for one so i got a high torque starter from summit with no nose...hope it works...
so the plan is get tie up all the loose ends and once the starter comes in with some other goodies
fire it up and see if she moves under her own power...lol we need to break in the rear gears and clutch so gotta take her easy for a while...maybe then this coming weekend(depending on my work schudule) we might put the turbo on it...only time will tell
