Thanks Doug....cats crack me up tooOriginally posted by WMCC DougJames, I've been enjoying your CAT avitars.

Well...good news....I finally heard back from Aeromotive about the high pressure spring.....I have it on order. So close! I filled her up with coolant and gave her some fresh oil and a new filter tonight. Hate to waste GM factory oil but I didn't want to take any chances that it might have some moisture in it from condensation from sitting so long. I also removed all the spark plugs and shot a couple of ounces of oil into each cylinder. Tomorrow I think I'll pull the valve covers off and douse the valvetrain in oil to. I hate the fact that there is no real good way to prime these motors...not like the old school SBC.sigpicTurbo Charged LS1/T56

Sorry guys, but I couldn't wait any longer...it was killing me. I still haven't received my new high pressure fuel regulator spring but I was able to find a temporary solution.
I had everything ready to go so I just said....eff it...let's fire it up. The engine sprang to life immediately after hitting the key! I had 60 psi oil pressure within about 3 seconds
What a fricken relief! I only let the motor run for maybe 5 minutes or so cause I had some other minor things I needed to tend to before letting it run up to full operating temp. I was also happy that I didn't get a SES light yet....so I must have done something right.
Video should come shortly.....anybody know how to convert a .MOV file into a window's media freindly file?sigpicTurbo Charged LS1/T56

Alright James Very nice. i am getting excited to see that thing (or do it myself). Do you know where another one is cheap.
So did you move it at all. To check the trans out?
What driveshaft did you use. Stock one work out ok.
Also what modifications did you do to get the T56 in the 3GC
