406 is in and running
I have had my car down since December and it is now running . Started to do heads and cam on the 305 and ended up putting in a 406 , and long tube headers and true duals . I'll post some pictures soon . Started it up last night , and it sounds awesome . This is a link to a crappy video from a mobile phone .http://www.team3rdgen.com/images/upload/starting.3gp

You'll need Quiktime to play this and it takes a minute to download . It is a cell phone video so it isn't too good .

Awesome!
Sorry I've been away. The folks on the forum I moderate were giving me a headache. I needed a break.
Back to the car: A 406, with long tube headers? Holy crap! Please go out right now and buy a 9 megapixel camera and get us some shots of that sucker sitting in the engine bay.
Are you going to need a new hood to cover it?

That is sweet.
Any plans to bring it to a dyno? Have you stiffened the suspension with SFC's and stuff to be able to handle that power?

How much did the commentary on the cell phone video cost? I'd like him to do the commentary when I start up my 400.
