Well it was only about 30 feet, I just needed to move it. The rednecked wiring made it fun to start. I had to pull on the extention cord they used for extending the starter wires then start it ,then it would die, repeat the above steps 4 or 5 times.
I guess I am sorta post whoring but we haven't had a new post in a few days here. LOL

Sweet. Yea this forum was in need of a new thread
.
That sounds like one hell of a hack wiring job. So you going to be doing a motor swap to it soon I take it?

Yeah pretty soon. As soon as I can find my motivation, it seems my laziness is making it hard to find. LOL
I have to straighten out the garage first so I have a place for the 305 to go, till my brother needs it. I think I should make him buy an engine stand, or at least a cart of some sort
With my luck I'll lunch that 2004r in the first 5 min.
Although I should take it easy since the 461 only has cam break in time on it. So maybe the trans will last 500 mi of break-in miles

Just take her easy and maybe shell last awhile...of course asking to take it easy with a 461 prolly wont be too realistic
.
If you need a good source for a 2004r builder the man to see is in Mundelein, Illinois. A bit south of the border NW of Chicago. Got my LS's re-done there and many many WI/IL guys go there for 2004r work, mostly Turbo Buick guys among others. Or just Richmond 6 speed it :p.

Well I found a hint of motivation. I pulled the hood and the accessories off the 305. And I am spent
LOL!
Actually I need to find something other than my garage floor to empty coolant into.
Here's a pic of the nice extention they made for the starter wires

Well hopefully between me driving nicely and having not too wide of street tires(less traction) the trans will last a while.
