Default SPF Up and Running - Thankyou Keith Craft Motorsports

Well after a few minor problems my new SPF is finally up and running. Only need to get my dropped air cleaner finished and I'm good to go!

I had a oil leak that turned out to be a problem with a rear oil galley plug from when the block was cast. Never showed up in the dyno but started after I installed the engine and fired it up the second time. Took it over to Keith Craft Motorsports and they pulled the transmission, bellhousing, clutch and flywheel to discover the problem. They fixed the concern and it's home to night sounding pretty healthy with only 10 miles on it. I have to say that buying a motor from Keith Craft clearly was worth it. Not only do I have a 640 HP motor but they fixed my concern immediately! For you SPF owners pulling the transmission after the motor is in - is something you don't want to do. The transmission cross member is fixed and you really need to pull the whole interior and tunnel out to get the transmission out. At least that's what I thought, but Rob at Keith Craft Motorsports had some niffty tricks on turning the bell housing and lowering the trans that allowed us to leave the interior alone.

Thanks Rob and Drew, you guys are the greatest!
