Engine is finally going in the bay after over a year of rebuilding
Fifth gear snap ring came off after a spirited test drive of the 383. I popped it back in place and tack welded it so it doesn't pop back off again. 500 miles later and no problems.
I finally got the 383 dynoed. It made 382rwhp and 425rwtq. Not bad considering I used very little timing and NO NITROUS. It should make over 400rwhp with more timing. Here are some pics of the car on the dyno at Proven Power in Tampa.
Here are the new wheels I got for the ride. They are HP Racing Evo's 19x8.5 front wrapped in 245/40 and the rear 19x9.5 wrapped in 275/35. Rear fenders had to be rolled to clear the tire since I used 1.5" spacers. These wheels were on my brother's E46 BMW 323i.
Taillight modification - Changed amber lense to red and darkened backup lights.
