Wish the news were better... Still praying for you Robyn, get well soon..

You can also visit Microshaft's web site, under the security center they generally have various applications for AV software, I've used CA (Computer Associates) Anti Virus program in the past with great success, low overhead and works well on XP. It also is free for the 1st 12 months.

Robyn, Feel better soon guy...Kara and I send out thoughts and Prayers...

Sam, Sorry, I don't have those numbers with me at the moment, they are written down but my notes are in a binder I carry back and forth to work and forgot it at work last Friday.

They're 118 CC Sam

Oh boy, this is a bit of a tale and at the risk of over-sharing... but here goes.... When I started this whole saga, I had originally intended on making an early 70's LS6 based set up, so Those are Casting number 14096188 / GM cast iron service replacement heads for an LS6. I found them brand new on E-bay still in the boxes. They've been built given a three angle valve job, and full porting and polishing, with Manley severe duty stainless valves 2.19 Intake / 1.88 Exhaust. Last fall, before the build began, I also had found an LS6 4 bolt block, or so I thought, it was an LS6 okay, but when it arrived from Washington state, it was so badly damaged that it was unusable, and I had to return it. Rather than keep delaying the project and searching for a 4 bolt block, I opted to use the 2 bolt block I had and forgo any plans for Nitrous. As if that wasn't enough aggravation, After that fiasco, I ended up in a horse trade where my 1978 2 bolt long block which we found out during tear down, had already been bored out 60, which the previous owner umm *forgot* to tell me, couldn't be used with my stoker kit, so that engine went to my machine shop, and they replaced that with another 2 bolt main in exchange for some extra machine work on the heads and a little credit towards machining fees. Since the LS6 idea went south I then changed the Cam Set up and opted to go hydraulic rather than the solid set up in the LS6. As far as the cam itself goes it is a Hydraulic flat tappet Lunati Voodoo: * Advertised Duration (Int/Exh): 276/284 * Duration @ .050 (Int/Exh): 233/241 * Gross Valve Lift (Int/Exh): .554/.572 * LSA/ICL: 110/106 * Valve Lash (Int/Exh): Hyd/Hyd * RPM Range: 2200-6400 * Includes: Cam Kit Part Number: 60204LK It's Mated with heavy duty Lunati Springs, and 1.7 Lunati roller rockers. The rest of it the build is made up of 18 CC Domed pistons from Speed pro, Forged H-Beam Scat rods and Crank, and a Pete Jackson Gear drive. The combo yields just a tad over 11:1 Compression. 11.20:1 to be exact. The Manifold will be a Weiand Stealth Dual Plane topped off by a Holley 870 CFM carb. I'm reusing my MSD set up to provide the sparks. Just a note, my entire cam intake and carb combo can be bought as a kit from Summit, and if memory serves me it came in at under 800.00. It's a nice combo for the money IMO. Behind the 496 is a rebuilt TH 350 with internals from TCI and a reverse full manual valve body, the guy doing the build built mine identical to the one he uses in a pro stock vette he owns that runs in the low 10's on motor only, and says he's run it for over 12 seasons with out so much as a whimper. The back end is set up with Richmond gears, 3.73:1 and an Eaton 3 series Posi. Hell for all I know this thing wont be able to get out of it's own way...course it couldnt really when I bought it either so that's nothing new...LOL.

I'd tell but then I'd have to kill you. J/K when I did all of the parts selections and what not I was shooting for 500 HP with no power adders like N02 Comp Cams HP calculator matching the cam specs as closely as possible (I'm using a Lunati Vodoo) came out to 540 HP. Most everyone myself included seemed to think Comp was being a little generous with their numbers so I am hedging on the low side and saying I might be just shy of 500 or maybe a few ticks above it but for all intent and purposes I am saying it has 500 even. The shop I am using doesn't have a dyno, so I wont know for sure until such time I can take it to a chassis dyno and see what it does.

That's a Summit piece Bill, Part number: SUM-G6316 2 piece Billet Aluminum.

okay good, Glad it worked out for you...

Okay, hot of the camera folks...here are some updated pictures as the 496 build is wrapping up. Should have more next week of the car itself. The Dash went up to the shop today, so with a little luck we'll finally be seeing how that RT 66 Dash fits and looks inside a car.

If you set the router to a factory default depending on the model of the router it's IP should be 192.168.1.1 that is most Vendors such as Lynksis and NetGear's default IP address...They generally also use "enable DHCP" as a default meaning the router tells your computer what IP address to use. Secondly, if your computer has not been rebooted then it possibly will still have the old IP address from before your resetting of the router to factory defaults. Thus you will not be able to connect to the router. To fix that, click start > run Type CMD then press enter In the DOS window type ipconfig /renew To see if it changed the IP address of your computer using the same command prompt window type: ipconfig /all and press enter. It should return your Current IP address Subnet mask and Default Gateway. The IP addess should now be 192.168.1.x Subnet mask 255.255.255.0 Default Gatway 192.168.1.1 Then you can try to connect to the router again using a Internet Browser and typing in the address of http://192.168.1.1 Hope this helps....

Did you check the wired machines Anti Virus / Security software Tim? If Norton is throwing up it's own firewall that possibly would explain the one way communication from wired to wireless but not allowing wireless to wired and ICMP. i.e. the Norton allows you to go out but nothing can come back in. Norton AV (if equipped) can be especially cranky to work with in cases like this. Just a thought.

Great videos Davey!!

Super, looking forward to seeing it come together Royce

Look at the positive side Royce..at least you didn't red light..unlike *some of us* uh..3 times straight our first time out..Ahem.

Thanks, and you're right, I'm actually considering putting it in storage rather then having it get all chipped up on my gravel road.

Okay rear's back in the car...Here's some shots of the install. They cleaned up my under carriage and pans, and shot it all with Chassis Black as well

Looks like it really helped with the twist, glad it's working out for you.

Royce, Royce, Royce....Now you know the rules here...no pictures...it never happned!! J/K Sounds like a real solid set up ..

Well even if it needs a rebuild...I hope you got a 'few' more miles out of yours than I did mine Bill...replacing a ring and pinion set after less than a year...*SIGH*

Having a functional parking brake is going to be nice too.. Especially where I live in TN

Thanks man, on the brake kit, this is the 4 wheel disc conversion kit for the A-body from Right-Stuff Detailing. I ordered it from Leo.

Okay, some more progress pictures to post. Kara sent these over to me today, the rear end housing is finished up and will be going back in this weekend with a little luck. This part of the project got a "little" more involved that I had wanted, but we found out that the Ring and Pinion gears were not installed correctly last spring, (some-one is getting paid a visit when I get home...they ain't going to be happy to see me either) after only a few hundred miles they were pitted and not worth reusing. The left axle was grooved as well so they both got replaced with a new set of Moser Heavy Duty non C-Clip eliminators. So it got all new gears, new axles, new brakes and lines, seals and heck while I'm at it I might as well do with the POS made in china chrome cover as well...it's only money right? Yeaaaaaah right. prior to assembly, fresh out of the tank and after being painted New Moser cover: New Ring and Pinion gear to replace the one that had been put in wrong last year and was damaged *sigh* Rear disc brakes being installed:

Nice Dave! I will be getting one like that for mine as well I think.
