Car is at a friends shop, Motor is on the right side of the car.

I wanted to pick my car up yesterday. But after a full day at Chevellabration, then the 9+ hour drive home. I took David out to b'fast and ended up being awake for 30+ hours and finally crashed at about noon on Sunday. Hopefully I will be able to pick it up tonight, as long as it doesn't rain.

Ordered a hydro-boost conversion from Hydratech. Should be here in 3 weeks or so.

After a few hundred miles this weekend I realized the big block just isn't making enough vacuum (8-10") to support the 11" booster & Wilwood calipers. It was a little concerning at the end of Music City's 1/8th mile when trying to slow the car down but I managed, just didn't feel comfortable doing so.

This should cure my stopping concerns!

You will love the hydro-boost. Made a HUGE difference for me.

Default Can't believe my luck

Right now I'm so mad I could ******. Just found out the wire harness for the engine is the wrong one and since I purchased it over a year ago I now have to buy another one for the car meaning more delays, maybe up to 3 weeks. Turns out the one I have is for a full size car and not for my Chevelle, plus it doesn't have the HEI wire I need in it. Nothing on this build has gone right it seems. Just about ready to sell it and be done with it. Can't believe my luck with this project.
