Longhorn updates...placing bets?

I say the tranny will be in by nightfall. Wife says it won't happen...Anyone wanna place bets?
I got the tilt in last night along with a couple odds and ends...and today I have the tranny jack from work.
I will go in...oh yes...it will go in.
Nice 41 degree day too.

My dad was on my wife's side...saying it won't go in. He lost...I guess I owe him a punch in the gut huh? (never bet for cash...the is a sigh of a gambling problem...my problem is my gut is always sore from betting too much. )
It is in...by the loosest term possable...but it is in. I need to go the the parts store tomorrow and get a tranny mount, this one was beyond kerfaggled, more like fubard.

10 feet? 3.3 yards?!? bah! That is an easy bet. I'd bet for over 20', but only if I get to do the honors.

My bet, the 4.57 gears will use up 1st gear within 10 feet.......but 2nd gear always makes a better "smoke show" Watch the tack real close Longhorn........those caddys dont like much over 4800-5000. I popped 3 intake springs in 1 season......guess 5500 was too much
