Excellent! Did you get tuning yet? I love the TR224.

JMX ...your so modest! You should team up with Hillary and write a best-selling book that sells big time!
Hey, I'd buy it and I even hate books; the last one I read was 25 years ago!
Did you find anyone bold enough to go for a short-block engine swap in your garage? ...I would pay a small fee to see this documented....

Great can't wait.
Will you be taking your tool box (small, medium, large hammers and a Brownie camera) with you or will you borrow a good set and buy a throw away digital?
Warning - the hammers are hard to get on a plane these days...
Why don't you come to Westchester NY instead; it rains too much in Portland...
I assume the motor and tranny will be top loaded, right?
I only did this once in my life with a lift and air tools; it took two days - 1970 Ranchario!!!! ...can't believe some here who do it in a few hours - how is this possible?

Great lopey idle! Sounds like a Muscle Car from the 60's-70's. If the mixture is ok, I would keep it like that.

Ed, nice sounding lope on the TR224 . . . I can't wait to get mine installed. BTW, is yours on a 112 or 114 LSA, and through what exhaust system?

Hey! GOtta defend my hood, yo! ![Winky](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_wink.gif)
It hasnt been raining much at all since April. nice and sunny in the 80s today, with some 90s expected in a couple days. We'll get a shower every week or two throuhg October.
But yeah... Between October and April, it rains all day every day. But it never snows or freezes, and frankly, I like that better than NY winter weather![Winky](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_wink.gif)

Visceral:
...not to mention the high heating bills in NY too right? I could buy an MTI motor with one years' bills!
Did you buy the MTI motor on a whim;? did you consider buying the engine components yourself and asking JMX to do the work for free? I mean, what could be more cost effective?
How Visceral will your new MTI motor be?
