    transmitting from Carbon's house

    skeeters partaking in the carnage of an EGT at Paul's place... got here around 9:30 am, pulling the BP and G25mr hydro trany... hope to have it out soon (working on some VERY stubborn axle nuts at the moment) so that we can start on the wiring of the festy (already engine less). Yea, carb'd to FI is going to be fun!

    we'll update as things progress...

          After knowing carbon and skeeter, I bet out of this comes a music video and a well documented swap.


          Take it back to the back porch, join the 3 string revolution.

            A music video of them doing the swap is what we need!
