I will have to post a little walk around video or pictures of the car so you can all see my never ending project now. ill try to get a nice acceleration video also. It had no problem burrying the 120 on the dash but that speedo isnt synchronized to the transmission either so i dont know how fast i was really going. Its finally complete!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks everyone and i know someone recomened to chain the engine down on here and i should have done that a whole ago now i have a dent in my header but i will be installing a chain soon aswell!!!!! Thanks again! I'll probably post a video on a separate forum or pictures of the car just to share.

Well gee LOL what'd (I tried) to tell you

VERY glad you found this finally

Glad your engine does not stall any more. But it is hard to believe that an error in the cam timing can really cause the engine to stall completely.


If your original gear was 2.76, and the speedo was accurate at that time, and if you have the same tire size, your 120 indicated should be around 90.
