well its alive. started it up a few times and everything sounds good. just need to get some tranny fluid, spark plugs and wires, and charge the batterie and it will be good to go. having to deal with an exhaust leak right now though. the passenger header is in a pain in the ass spot. trying to bolt up the down pipe is about imposseble. the top bolt is pretty much garded by the firewall, down pipe and manifold. so i cant get a socket or anything to it. im gonna see if the old man in T.A. can figure something out for me.
