Now would be a PERFECT time to put in a new PMIII or replace your accumulator. :icon_mrgreen: It is a bitch to work on with everything in there. :icon_rolleyes:

I'm leaning heavily towards the vacuum brake switch....

Updated Pics of Engine build.

Dawm that looks good. You must have that exhaust, wrap real good, cause it sure makes it look bigger. Keep up the good work and probably just like you, I can't wait to see it finished.

i did all my removal/install from the top. the worst part was lining the damn tranny up

Looking good. :icon_mrgreen: What did you end up doing to get those manifolds to work on your ported heads? One more question... Is that oiling setup spraying along the entire length of the camshaft? ;)

awesome Thomas :icon_biggrin: it was kind of sad seeing a dead TGP sitting in the corner of Kenny's shop ecspecially one that is so nice. i remember seeing your shortblock and some other parts while i was there talking to you and was hoping you'd post an update thread like this. looking great! i can't wait to see what it puts down on the dyno :icon_eek:
