Update on future build

Those pics are ugly

[phil_long]

hmmmmm

[phil_long]

Idk

[phil_long]

I got the headers on and the spark plugs in. Next is the swap and taking stuff off my old motor that I'm reusing

The throttle body isn't bolted yet because I have to take the rjc plate off of my motor. Lol

[Steve Wood]

Not compatible with your doghouse?

[Scoobum]

What torque convertor did you go with?

[Scoobum]

I'd be removing that heat shield from the PS firewall.

[phil_long]

The RJC plate is compatible of course, but my original motor is still in my car. I'm gonna drive my car to another buick member's house and begin the teardown there.

I haven't gotten a new stall yet. I intend to reach out to Husek though when I do.

Why remove the heat shield?

[Steve Wood]

Don't let anyone convince you that the PP is restrictive... .

As stated on my website....The power plate is the best mod money can buy.

You can't lock Huseks convertor...an d you'll be crying to me cuz the car won't MPH. Contact Dusty Bradford at PTC or Bison and have one of them spec you a 9.5 NL PTC race convertor. Install Jasons power plate...cuz I got better things to do to tell you how to change head gaskets. Heat shield is a pain in the ass when wrenching.

[phil_long]

Thanks for the replies! I have a PTC 3k L/u right now but Bison said I'd drive right through it with mid 10 second power. He gave me a full write up as to why but I won't type it out. He said he shelve the converter that most guys need but no one wants to pay the price to avoid the wait. LMAO!!!!!!!

Regarding the RJC PP, I think you guys are misunderstandi ng my post. I was saying that my powerplate is still installed on my original motor so there was no point in me bolting down the throttlebody and plenum onto the new motor until i get the powerplate off of my old motor to install.

I think  I would contact Dusty and ask his opinion. I prefer to go straight to the horse's mouth.
