Thanks Brian, it's a Comp XE268H-10 with a 515 lift and a 268 duration, its been in there for a couple of years but my exhaust really does not bring out sound it should.

Hank, actually John just left, he was giving me some pointers on what I need to do, did find out that he did not have to cut his tunnel like I did since he put in a T56 6-speed and it compleley different. I got the tunnel cut today and got the trans installed without the clutch so I can order the drive shaft on Monday. Now I have to remove the trans again and check the bellhousing runout...crossing my fingers that is under the 0.005", as it looks it will be a pain in the ass to install new offset dowel pins

Ric, after you check the run-out loosen all the bolts then tighten it down again and check run-out again. I was reading a thread that said the run-out can change several thousands just by doing that. Makes it tough to get it within tolerance. Once you think you have it, you have to pull it apart to install the clutch and it can change.
