Thanks for doing the legwork for the rest of us, with the other projects I Have going, it would take me years to get a V8 running...
It's quite the battle she's giving me but I deffinitely enjoy it as a project. I'm not going to lie though, you can get LOST in DAS very easily. It really surprised me when I got off work at 4, hit the garage at 4:30 and next I know my wife is banging on the door yelling at me saying I have to get up for work in a few hours lol. It most assuredly is time consuming, and honestly I wouldn't be surprised if I've spent upwards of 300 man hours on her at this point. Proabably 3 times that if you include research. It will pay off in the end though, my build to date is only $2,100, not including the couple of things I've sold and you just can't beat that price for the performance increase, let alone the rarity.

And no problem on the legwork. I just hope I can get it done and we can get some on the road
