The Austang is back home with all the bits in place!
Bottom line is at the top . . . George May of Racecraft in Kunda Park has done a great job.
The journey has been emotional and I have endured highs and lows in the process, the lowest of which is the crap work done by the exhaust guy. If you want a personal report, drop me a comment and I will fill you in. After spending $1500 with that clown and having all brackets break from the strain, the whole thing has since been rebuilt for half the original cost and now does not bang on anything, even with a full load of people. Plus there are no leaks through parrot-shit welds! Honestly, I would not let them work on my wheel barrow.
Heads up, if you want a great job done on your exhaust, go to Steve at Kuluin Mufflers.
The Camshaft is very lumpy and probably a bit marginal for an auto tranny but makes big HP and a great sound.
Got a little issue with the Rack and pinion steering by RRS, there is a little play in the uni joints which causes the steering to lose it for a couple of degrees in the middle. I am currently talking to them about getting a replacement set.
Here's a little video of the first drive, the belt is a bit noisy and I need to deal with that . . .

Hi Steve, this is Jim G. I worked with you to supply your AOD from Monster Transmission before my departure from the company. I want to tell you that I think your car came out GREAT!! I hope you're happy with the results. From what the video shows you've got quite a beast on your hands!! Congratulations on a great build, and I hope you enjoy your newfound Powerhouse!!
