Lots of stuff. Should have electric fans, some front end parts, some sensors, and upper intake gaskets since i tore the gaskets when i pulled the intake to finish installing the wiring harness. All i can say is that this little 5.0 better run really good after all the money i have spent on it!!! LoL

with the higher compression, the moderately ported GT40P heads, and this cam i could probably do around 350hp or a little better if i'm lucky. the cam i have is taking a chance of not making vacuum at idle, but the heads are going to hold me back i think.. it should be a pretty responsive little devil w/ the lower gears. Heck for all i know you might outrun it in your V6. i have no clue how well this engine will run or if it will run correctly when i'm done. LOL

My computer at home died so i'm taking pics and waiting til i can figure out whats wrong with my PC then i will post pics. When i turn on my computer the blue screen comes up that says HP, but then it just stays there and does nothing. Have no clue whats wrong with that.

As the computer boots with the black screens hit the F8 key a couple of times and select opening the computer in "Safe Mode", just keep saying yes until it opens, when it's done opening shut it back down again, but this time select open in "Last Good Known Configuration".
If that doesn't work you might need to have it looked at!

As soon as you hit the power button on it the blue screen pops up that says HP. Like that's the first screen that shows up and thats where it stays. i will try hitting the F8 button like you say a few times and see what happens.

so it's not even booting to the BIOS settings, you may have a bad memory stick, or processor, or even the video card.
Try taking out each one of those items one at a time and try to boot after removing each item.

Man I hope so for your sake. With all that you have put into it, sounds like it should be a runner. Let us know how it turns out.

Justin, everyone will know when i get this thing running. there will probably be videos, pics, and everything. I am very excited to be almost done with this thing since i have been messing with it for over a year now. Heck the original registration that i got for it is already up and i gotta go get it registered again!!!

It better be an awesome ride and be reliable at that. Everything in the engine is plenty strong to be able to handle superchargers, nitrous, whatever i want to do to it, but i'm keeping it N/A right now. I just hope that the 302 has enough umph down low to pull these tires without a problem. i went a little crazy and set the engine up to run 2500-6000 RPM. Oh well. it should be alright. Anyone think i need an aftermarket radiator for this thing or you think a stock replacement aluminum w/ plastic end tanks be ok???
