And my AC is now blowing hot air, just in time for the summer.
 I changed the cabin filters Saturday, holy cow. I don't think anyone ever changed them. Going to throw in some R134 with stop leak to see if I can band aid it and make it last a little longer.

Put the new car on the rollers today. Must say, it made more power than I would have expected!

Dug out my LQ4/80E from my old truck, changed the camshaft. Started to change the valvesprings... interference with the factory valve seals. Made a phone call, the parts I need are on the way.
Installed a Jeep GC box in the 67' C10 this morning. The Trans Am box in the the truck was leaking.

Well I'll be damned if the torque converter in my freshly rebuilt transmission stopped locking up.
 Time to pull this thing apart. I swear it wants the engine and transmission swap.

Just spent about $300 on the last few odds and ends. I need to get back on the engine tomorrow morning and wrap things up.
