* re-install shifter to mid-shift point; pour in transmission fluid (have a bucket under it for the level hole)
* Get more info on the rod-length of the hydraulic clutch assembly from Forte's. There is some info on the FFCars.com forum where Mike hangs out regularly and some builds using the Quicktime bell housing with it I believe. Otherwise, I think it will be pretty straight forward - cut down some rod and test.
* Install carburator but do not install the linkage assembly until you resolve the driver side header issue.
* Interior work: carpeting, Kirky seat build up.
* Check rear-end for fluid; add if needed (but I'm guessing they did this at ERA but never hurts to check it again.)
* Contact your engine builder and determine if they re-torqued your heads and intake after initial run-in / dyno; ask if you should do it again after say a few hundred miles.

* You could actually hook up the radiator hoses top and bottom as I don't see any issues with that. May even want to start adding antifreeze to it, however, since you don't have your alternator bracket yet, I'm not sure if you can mount your overflow tank or not since I'm not sure where it mounts to on the engine.


Herman,

That's a thorough list ... once I get through all of that we should be good to go! The overflow tank actually sits on the frame, not the motor, so it can go back on. I took it off to allow more room for the motor to drop in.

Those aches and pains go away yet ?
