1. reinforce/weld motor and tranny mounts.
2. put the pulleys and belts back on
3. clean everything up make her more presentable
4. change and gap one plug (didnt have time to figure out how to get to that last plug)
and uhhh 5. add a shim washer to the new bov (its venting a lil at idle... bad thing)
and of course put some 93 in her and start some testing/get some vids

Old seals will leak a lot more when boosting. Make sure your crank vent does not get restricted in any way, right Jason?

Man I swear thats the one thing I hated about Ohio was that damn E-Check crap. Where are you in ohio? If your in Dayton, go to the E-Check place over by Hara Arena.. there was a guy there with a SHO named Chris, he takes $20 donations.. Hint hint.. lol ask me how I know..

I don't know what you're talking about....

I guess the biggest thing I learned is not to plumb in a crank case evac kit before the mufflers on a street car. Once the check valve fails, you plumb hot, pressurized exhaust into the crank case.

all of my crank vents are open and free flowin... i made the mistake of not venting my crank case crap on my stang when i first put the blower on... i was pushing boost into the crank case!! Big mistake!!! i over looked that one lil detail and in no time i blew out the oil pan gaskets and valve cover gaskets... oi what a mess... so iv learned never to over look the crank case vent when boosting
