hey, just figured i'd be a jerk and update you guys again . engine's in, tranny just went in this evening. got the hedman headers on, but it appears i will have to do some massaging to get the starter to fit in. may pick up a starter blanket to protect it from heat. heard i may need a smaller starter, but i'll see if this one works first. monday everything else should be installed and hopefully by tuesday the exhaust should be welded up. i still need to buy a chip adapter so i can get my caprice cop chip in (temp until i can learn to program chips). for some reason i cant get my ALDL cable to work at all, maybe the transistor is busted. lemme know any hints/tips/comments/hatemail . thanks
