Took some pics last night. Its basically done, just need a warm day to start and get the tune sorted out. I'm so sick of this crappy weather.....45 degrees even sounds good now.

Car looks badazz. Question what did you do off the water pump for the lower hose? I see the braided upper. Just wondering on the lower. Do you have any pics? Thanks!

After looking back at the pics. I'm guessing that you did aluminum tube with to short pices of rubber hose.

Yup, I used 1.75" aluminium tubing with silicone couplers and t-bolt clamps. I'll try to get a pic of it.

Got it running over the weekend, but after running for about 45 seconds it started to make a squeeling noise from the trans......needless to say I had to take the trans out.....come to find out the pump bearing got locked and spun on the convertor input shaft. I ended up calling Fred Anglebrandt who had a new pump laying around and went through the trans just to make sure everything was clean. (Thanks Fred)

Had the trans in and out in one day and it was running again that evening. Everything is good now....throttle response is way better than my old DR motor....this 418CI is a bad bitch.

Bring on the nice weather.

I owe you a visit Ryan, so plan on seeing me stop in. I probably won't take any long trips until May when it is actually nice out, but who knows....

Can wait to lower it down off the jack stands, it still needs a few thigns buttoned up.....so it will only be a few more weeks.

DOOM · 03-23-2009, 08:17 AM

well, it was a happy day, yesterday I lowered the white car down off the jack stands and pull it out of the garage......it still needs the tune up smoothed out, but here is the video.
