    V8Festiva's latest project - BP Swap

    Dean has been working on putting a BP that he got from Htchbck into the Festiva we picked up in TN from nochecks last month. Today Nate, Skeeters_Keeper came down to help with hooking everything up. Took about 5 hours to get all the electrical figured out and hooked up. This is the result:

    Next comes the radiator, exhaust, and battery relocation, but after all that work, they weren't going to rest until they could see if it would fire up. he he

    Thanks for all the hard work Nate. Guess we'll let you have the 4th off before you go back to work!

                        No. Spicing it into the Festiva harness. See MattSwabb's how-to guide.

                              Are you using the festiva tranny and did you cut the firewall ? Im mulling a BP swap around in my head, where there is plenty of space.
