With the help of SO many people here on this forum!



I have a lot of details to clean up....and I gotta get it an alignment and to the exhaust shop.

Many thanks to all the guys here that helped!
Way to many to name and I wouldn't want to put one name above another.
But many thanks to all of you!

Like Jake said, Looks and sounds great! Love those Whiplash cams. Which one did you use??

I can dig up the cam card tomorrow morning and get the part number and specs!

I'm so freaking happy I can start it and move it around! BOTH cars are in the garage tonight!

Cam break in was smooth.....I was way more concerned than I needed to be. ....

It starts easy, runs great, sounds pretty good too!

Happy guy tonight!

That's awesome. Lots of work up to this point and a little more left. Nice work on it!

Thank you!

It's had since I pulled the engine:
ALL new wiring harnesses inside and out
Complete front and rear suspension rebuild
And all the engine work....

She's not the same car I drove home 900 miles a little over a year ago!

And there's still some great driving time this year for me to enjoy it!
Hell, in California I can drive it to go look at Christmas lights!

They're Dougs D453s.....
They didn't "fall" into place....but they installed pretty easy!

I de-greased them of fingerprints pretty good before the first heat cycle too....

I remember your posts from when you were going to get the Cuda and the drive back...

You've come a long way since then... :thumbsup:
 
Hey Jeff, I was looking for threads about your cam and came across this one. I know it's a 4 year old thread but how do you like it now? Made any trips down the strip? I've got the cam and lifters and the teen.
