I'm either going to program it myself or get Brian at TBI Chips to do it. It all depends on how much time vs how much money I have. I have the programming tools, but it can take a lot of iterations to get it right. I'm sure Brian could get it close a lot faster than me.

Right now the engine is almost ready to drop in. Here's what I've got to do:

1. Remove the LH valve cover and drill a breather hole.
2. Figure out how the plump the coolant/vac lines off the Edelbrock intake. The PITA is getting the fittings; it always seems to take 3 trips to the store to get the right ones.
3. Buy the torque convertor. I'm going for the Yank Truck Thruster 2600. It's $425 w/shipping. This $$$ is really what's holding me up.
