Bathing the bird
Still have a couple things to iron out. Gonna let a friend drive it that knows the F-Body better than I to determine if it is running correctly. Feels like it has NO power until around 2400 RPM's...which may just be the cam. Even then...just doesn't feel like it hits that hard. Maybe it picks up around 3500+
Gauges need installed. Going to hit that up Monday. New BFG's need mounted along with an alignment. Sometime next week. Anyways.... Much better....but the paint did suffer a little from the swap. Like a cheapass I didn't pick up quarter panel skirts.

Re: Bathing the bird
Looks awesome. Can't really tell about that paint thing from the pics. You should blackout those tailights, it'll make the back look really smooth. But that's just my opinion. Great job man, hope everything is up and running smoothly soon.

Re: Bathing the bird
That actually just reminded me what my Formula looked like after I was done with the engine swap. It was not pretty and the first wash actually didn't even take. It took like 3.

Re: Bathing the bird
How high is your stall? Have you tried just giving it full pedal under 2400 rpm or enough just before the tires start to slip? Like you said it could just be your cam. But as long as youve matched your stall and your cam you should be good to go.
