Well, after a YEAR of casual labor, the B6 was finally ready for install into Hula Baloo. The engine aquired was supposedly "in great shape, ready to drop in"... aquired from a member here, I won't say who. Anyway... took care of the multitude of issues, did a little painting, and finally popped it in today. Still need to do all the other tasks required to switch to MTX from ATX, but here's some pics! Sorry for the crappy cell phone quality...

head and intakes gasket matched, port work, minor bowl work, FMS street cam (which I discovered has an issue and needs to be removed!!! - temporarily), B8 throttle body, and ever-so-slightly larger injectors.
Haven't decided yet, but a turbo may be in the works...Jim DeAngelis

Sounds great. I also have a FMS cam and plan on doing a B6 swap with minor port work and a header. I just can't find a decent B6 to start with. Is there a quality issue with the cam that I should be concerned about?Originally posted by FB71 View Posthmmm.... should I lie and say 'yes'?
