Looks factory. Nice and clean! Good luck!

Do you need to do anything to the PCM for this swap?

Not with a T56 car except the speedo needs to be adjusted through the tune. Car is 100% drivable though.

I will be up there with a couple cars, but not mine. I have a vibration/noise in driveline and believe its the pinion bearing. I just don't have time to look into it right now.

Good meeting you Rob!

I made one hit on motor. It did beat its old best 60ft but felt really weak going down the track. Got the car to the pits and it wouldnt start again. Found a fuze that I had jumped a power cable from was really loose and causing fueling issues. By the time I figured it out both lanes got shut down. So I hope to fix that and get the nitrous working and head back next friday.
