well i got the 60-1 on had a slight issues the firs time,but took it apart and cleaned it and it was fine
got it back on today and got the car buttoned up so i can dyno on saturday just to find out the block is possibly cracked.(put water in the rad and it dumps out the back of the block in the bellhousing)

ok the verdict is cracked block
BUT its runnable

i blew the bottom freeze plug out of the rear of the block, and cracked the block inbetween cyls 4-6 and 3-5 right below the deck about 1/2 - 1 inch inch down from the block deck.

new freeze plug installed, tig welded the block up with nirod and put the trans back in. put a few leak stop tabs in the rad for good measure and i got 0 water leaks.

tyen i proceded to take the car out on the street and beat the piss out of it at 9 psi.

holy mother fucking shit the car is unreal Grin:D:D

videos of carnage and street runs and a flyby to be posted soon
