So I took the 30 mins today and got the engine bay fully back together and fired it up, it fired on the first crank too

I left the rad, bumper/front end off because Thered56 is coming tomorrow to check it out, with the snowfall we got today I won't be taking it for a drive tomorrow anyways

I was very un-motivated last night otherwise I probably could have fired it up last night, it just needs a few more wires hooked up and the cooking system put in, I'll finish it up tonight

Some more progress

So what size shoehorn did you use to get that sucker in there? :highly_amused:

Nice progress! If I had $30k though, I'd say a 3 rotor rx7 would be in my garage!

I think gas mileage would be the only deterrent. Its too bad Im working this weekend

Yup their prices are low enough where I could actually afford to buy it, so once my escape is paid off, I'm going for a viper

[defprun]

They are around for about 30K, we paid more than that for our 2012 beetle.

I've always loved vipers, once I get some debt paid off (5years or so) I am going to look into buying a 2nd gen viper

[defprun]

I swear one day I will own one of those viper engines, except with it still in its natural engine bay

The Viper engine's native environment is perfectly suitable. I haven't seen any swap that made me go 'oooo that's perfect!'

Dang motor weighs as much as a Festiva lol

[bobbyspider]

So tonight I pulled the KL31 (true ZE cams) from my old motor and re-installed them into the current motor, put in the new valve cover gaskets and bolted the valve covers back on

Now the rest of the engine assembly should go fairly quick since I'm passed the time consuming crap, shooting for start up by the end of the week

hope to feel a face peel launch at fm this year
