Default WooHoo finally done with swap

Finally done with swap, well almost(98%) it's in car and runs, taking it on rollback to muffler shop tomorrow to get 3" exhaust connected to headers (they were off by 11 degrees)too damn loud with open headers to drive. Now the fun part, Tuning it correctly w/o busting my eardrums and pissing off neighbors LOL Will get pics of it soon. Now to get body work done and repainted, finally something I know about(This was a total car project) Never even drove car yet. No motor when I bought it. Thanks go out to John B, and John at Speartech for all their help.

You're welcome and I'm glad to hear that it's running! Just wait until you get to take it for a good full throttle blast for the first time.....you'll love the power, feel and the incredible NASCAR-like sound of the exhaust note
