Yea its trying. This is what happens when a chevy guy trys to work on a ford. You can be brutal with a chevy and it wont care. You have to be tender with a ford. Or maybe it knows Im a chevy guy. Either way I going to win one way or another.

Damn it this thing is pissing me off. I fixed the bolt at work. Got a tap for it.
Tapped the hole. Then started the tap in the rest of the holes to make sure they were OK. Then I put antiseize on all of the bolts. Stared putting it back together. One of the front bolts started getting stiff at the bottom but I got it tight. the 2 very back bolts will not go all the way down. There hard as hell to get to in the first place and they want to be a pain in the....yea. I didnt run the tapp all the way down in the other holes because they all started fine. and I had put 3 bolts in last time with no probelm before I run into the one bad one and it got bad at the top. Ill finish it. Im still paying for the damn thing so I cant let it just sit. Even though it sat for almost a year now. But needless to say I dont really like the damn thing.

Allrighty. Pulled the SC and the intercooler back off. Tapped all of the holes all the way to the bottom. put it back together and everything went fine. One other thing I did that im sure you guys have found a way around. The very back bolt on the SC on the passanger side is a PITA to put in if you use the factory bolt. I notched the front of the hole in just the SC about a 1/4in
and it droped right in. I know there are a few other things that could be done about it, but I wanted it to look like I hadnt done anything. All I have now are hoses and wires. And just a few. YEA!!!!!

I tryed. He didnt answer, but thanks Whaler. I took the drvers side valve cover off and had my brother try to start it just to see if I could see anything. Well I did. The sprocket on the front of the cam was turning but the cam was not. I dont understand it. I know I had them lined up. And I turned the motor over by hand before I started it. Just to make sure nothing was hitting just in case I had something wrong. Unless I was told wrong on how to line them up and I didnt turn it over far enough. I really dont know what to do now.
