^^Nice pic, and if all goes to plan, mine should be turbo'd as well.... i just can't wait to see how many turbo'd festy's will actually make it there

[M3NTAL]

ahhh man do i really have to go though my receipt book and add all this up? lol IM kind of afraid to actually lol but i guess ill go ahead and do it

Chris
I plan on making it to FM5 and we plan to have 4-5 turbo cars from FL

Heres another pic just cause im a pic whore lol

[SiC sEnSe]

so if you don't mind me asking how much have you spent so far on this build, because thats the way to do a swap. Getting everything done before even dropping it in.

[skimsucka]

Its iphone 4 for the win !!!!!

[boydg1]

.... Those are some good pics. What camera are you using? I've been looking at a number of them lately. :?:

.

If it would just sit like this it would just barely clear but it literally sits on the rail.


And yes I'm gonna need some touch up paint It's just collateral damage



So here's what I'm thinking...

On the front tranny mount im going to drill ou the existing 2 bolts that connect to the crossmember, weld a shim to the underside of the mount, which will in turn lift the front of the tranny and motor, and finally throw some new longer bolts through the modified mount.

[Damkid]

When me and RJ were dropping this motor all we kept saying was how the Heck did Chris put a v6 in here hahahahha

make it to FM5 and see first hand

Ha, he cheated (removable upper rad support) lol.

Look back and you'll see i didn't need to make the rad support removable (it just made it a hell of a lot easier), remember, I got my mock up engine in without any cutting
