I'll be ready..........I think............. The real question is...will you be ready?
Call out? Ok, I'm calling right back to you! I thought I called you out a while back already........hmmmm. Maybe you forgot! Either way, I'll be lined up next to you at some point.
I just hope the tranny will hold up. I seriously doubt it though. I hate being negative, but everything I've done so far, has shown an ugly face...
-Corsa exhaust making a buzzing/ rattling noise at certain rpms.
-Speedo cluster making rattling gear noises.
-One rear Belltech shock blew out its fluid after a few days of use.
-Rear shackle drop is giving me hell with vibrations.
-Taking dash cover off to locate a ticking noise at the far left corner where dash corner meets the glass. It makes the ticking /tapping noise mostly when I'm driving down the road and taking gradual right bends. Driving me crazy!
-Wife creased my right front fender a little with her car's side mirror.

Need I say more??? I'm pretty frustrated right about now!!

Jim

Items that I'm lacking: PI converter, servos, shift kit, meth kit, gauges, and a pair of tires/wheels that will connect with the pavement.
I'm not too far off, but I'm not close to done yet. Getting the rest of my stuff is one thing, but installing all of it is another...........
I may be needing a hand or two when the time comes.
Hopefully some experienced hands will come out of the woods to help?????
There will not be too much of this going on when working on my truck!
I'll keep a cold supply, but would like to have the volunteered help keep a "decent" head when doing the engine work.

Jim you have no room to bitch about problems. Your little hiccups pale in comparison to some of the **** I have gone through. Everything will be fine man, dont get such a bad attitude about it or you will never find the motivation to do it. I also told your *** to come up here and I would help you.

Cody, I would rather do it there, but there will not be enough time to do it all in.
Thanks for the offer, but looks like I will be doing it here in Houston.
Will see if there will be anyone up to helping down here I guess.
Anyone in particular that you would recommend that lives around the area?

Jim

Kevin can do the cam swap, I dont know of anyone who has done a radix install down there. I helped turbogibbs with getting his **** off and it wasnt that hard to do the install, magnas instructions are great. There are alot fo guys in Houston have done cam swaps and trans swaps. The radix, cam and tc could be done in a weekend up here, I dont have any experience with the shift kit but Im sure we could get it done. Its up to you man.
