I haven't updated this thread in forever. It is getting close to being done. I just thought I would add my new wheels to the thread.

Did you build buy a turbo kit or are you building it?

Just a thought - are you running convertible motor mounts? I've been told they're lower and they were recommended for my 5.8 swap given the extra engine height. "Course, mine IS a convertible so I already had 'em. No clue why they'd lower the engine in a convert. But that would drop the engine/trans assembly so I guess it might do what you're experiencing.

I am running the energy suspension urethane motor mounts. They are supposed to be convertible height, but I am using the full set of them. I am going to go get an oem style transmission mount. I was looking at BBR's transmission mount and it is lower from the transmission case to the cross member than mine. I don't need alot just a bit of room. Being that I swapped the k member and went to an AOD also the Dart block and all forged internals are heavier than the stock stuff I was running means I really have had some issues trying to figure out where to start troubleshooting this.
Thanks Dan!

It finally runs!!!!! I have been poking at it for months and finally got it to a point I felt comfortable trying to start it. After a few transmission fluid misshaps and I had to get the FAST dual sync distributor straightened out it will start and idle.
