To start things off right the stock 2.3L 4 cylinder has to go. Why not spray it?

Some how I just don't think the effort was worth it. It went no where and made a big *** mess. That you now have to clean. Should have done it in daylight. might have made the video a little better. The music was the best part.

There was really no effort to blow up the little 2.3... cut intake tube, plug in line, get zip ties. Some simple green and a few scotch bright pads and she is ready for a lsx. The motor is already out and I'll have the Aje kmember in tomorrow.

Hell yes! Looks like a good time to me. Never get the chance to do that without caring about the outcome and it's good memories. Worth the time spent cleaning IMO.

Blue90coupe is my "westsidemustangs SN" I found a clean roller and swapped everything over. The green car has made it back to Deer Park but has been completely stripped. I have a 88 coupe with a a 6.0/th350 with a hair dryer
