aren't we all LOL!!
It's damn tough to do sometimes.
Good to hear the flip made it in good time. I've been following your build pretty closely. You're making me wish I had done a flat bed.
How rough can the idle be? I have a pcv on my 256/260 @ .050 duration cam in my 427 that i turn 7500. It will honestly still work fine even with my 1050 dominator. I drove it 1500 miles on drag week and everything was nice and clean.
The tuning session on the dyno cleaned it up pretty considerably. I guess not so much that its rough but just doesn't produce much vaccum when its just idling and then the ECU gets a little pissy. There is a different mode of tuning, Alpha-N or something like that but a whole new can of worms there. If I didn't mind the idle being a little higher it would totally be a non issue. About 1100 rpm its producing a much stronger vaccum.
You shouldn't need alphaN at that level Kert. Alpha N just uses throttle position and RPM instead of manifold pressure and RPM. So alpha N doesn't take the load into consideration. It will work great if you are doing the same race everytime but with all the different driving conditions of wheelin I would stick with speed density.
That's good to know. I didn't really know what the difference in the two tuning methods was. The guy at FAST were telling me AlphaN wouldn't work very well for my application as well.
I managed to fix the crank case evac. system last night.
I had a breather on the valve cover which was causing the issue. The exhaust provides enough vaccum for the engine that if you have a breather it allows fresh air to be pulled into the crankcase and out through the exhaust which inevitably picks up some oil and takes it into the exhaust.
I talked to Moroso tech and they suggested, removing the breather would solve the issue.
2 items left. A shift boot bezel and a clutch for the york.
Testing the CCEvac yestereday and the clutch is getting pretty ragged. Kinda made you a little worried about standing to close to it.

Yeah its rattling pretty bad and you can see the vibration. Clutch sits still for a little while then engages and turns a couple turns and then stops again.... Pretty ugly.
No more smoky!!
Am I gonna see this baby in july kert? Since I missed out on the trip 
anxiously waiting to see pics on the rocks.

What makes me sad, is mine, around here is considered a LEGIT bada$$ rig, and compared to yours, mine is basically a Prius, which does not deserve a capital P, compared to yours. So you need to keep you and your awesome rig out of my area, or you will be making me look bad. And since I cant run yours over, or do a bigger burnout, I would have to out drink you, and steal your stuff. But rumor has it that is a terrible felony and leads to no fun time in an area where its only men and the sex you have is not wanted. So stay away, far away.
Today I was supposed to be on my way to a wheeling event.
Weather has not cooperated. Heavy predictions of rain and thunderstorms all weekend for the area.
I have found myself in an odd situation. I think the blazer is done. I mean, its really done. If I had a big enough parking space, i'd back the crew cab, gooseneck and blazer in and leave 'em ready for the next wheeling trip.

I think this might be a site-wide first. DONE? Never heard of it...
