I took 1/2 the day off today for the 1st time in a long time.
I had to get my mind off of things. I lost my best childhood friend last night.
So I came home early and put the 588 in my blue Dodge today and started putting parts on.

 

[SUPERSTOCKRACER]

Played around and put some more parts on the 588 today. Here are some pics. I needed some alone time today. I'm pretty shaken up.

looking good chris, make sure you put that bolt back in the flex plate before you put the trans in.

Thanks, new 1/2"-20 ARP Bolts are in the crank holding the flexplate.
Got alot done today considering my frame of mind.
Put in my new turbo Start 16 volt battery and charging receptacles in the back of the car for charging.

Here's a few pictures of the new bullet. It won't be long now.

Finally can't wait to hear it.

 

[SUPERSTOCKRACER]

WEll it's all done.
Everything lined up great. Got the new CSR Trans. shield in and new Star Vacuum Pump installed.
I also went with a Turbo Start 16 volt battery and a Product Engineering 16 volt Alternator when I have to go rounds.
Clinton (440gtx) doesn't need an alternator since he doesn't go past 1st round. lol
