Yeah I have tap/die sets that small. It's worth a shot over buying a new one unless you REALLY wanted to

It fits...let's just say very tight. No cutting or anything for me. Getting it in place wasn't the worst thing ever as I had help from my wife (she actually helped from start to finish and was excited about it!) but it def would have been harder without her. There is a soft plasticky guard that I had to bend out of the way, but all in all it wasn't bad. I had to completely remove the clamps in order to get the silicon couplers to go on, and then put them back on, which was actually the hardest part for me (at least cold side was). Can't say much about how it drives because it just went on last night and haven't really gotten to do much besides make sure it didn't throw any codes.

Took about 4 hrs for my wife and I without any idea of what we were doing to go from beginning to jack the car up to driving it again, but we work slow :-)

Sleeved Block will be ready tomorrow for pickup!! This weekend I ported my blower inlet for new TB. Also ported a little of the head, will finish that today. (It took about an hour for each port) Once I get the new gaskets and the rings the motor will be put back together! Cant wait. Once that and tuning is done I will make a build thread!

You do not have your pump yet do you? I would be careful you do not have an aeroforce to see the IAT's.

I wish my car was up and running. I wanna see what cams, head job, and single pass do for me.

I know it's a long drive for some of you, but 'beat the heat' is at Speedworld on April 7th. I'll be there, and hoping i can get a few other people i know to show up. It's only $10 to race/spectate. Goes from 6pm to 10pm. And, you get to beat up on the Surprise Police mustang if you like.

lol yes! I mean what another hour to add to the 10 hours we already put in. Not to mention the 30 tune files I have on my comp of yours!

I hope you run in the 13's.

I still think I can squeeze some timing and lean it out. Seemed to still want timing. We just need to look at the IATs. Its coming up on summer, may want to keep that in the back of our minds. Just get meth, dont be a puss. haha
