    Project.

    I have yet to ride in the car. The hood of the engine compartment in the hatch weighs about 100lbs. It has weather stripping all the way around it to seal it and there's a hatch door behind the seats that takes a lot of pressure to latch. It looks really well insulated. I will get the a/c working for those hot fl days, it should work. The scoops on the side of the car are functional and go into the engine bay.

        I got the engine harness swapped over to the new motor. I need to get this old engine off the cradle and get the new engine in its place. Swap the coolant lines and move the alternator. It's getting close should be running by the end of the week. I thought it would be tuff on the ground but it wasn't too bad. The notch in the car in the back fits the engine perfectly. I lower the engine onto a dolly and roll it out and in and wherever. Took almost a year to get a good motor in it but hopefully this one last a little bit. I'm going to build a spare. This motor has around 109000. I'm going to baby it. For now.

            It could help with weight distribution. Too little weight up front and the wheels will come up. Which I don't find practical, or showy

                Motor is back in. Just have to finish bolting up the sway bar. Hook up the power and grounds. And hook up cooling lines. Should be running soon.

                    Cleaned up put the first couple miles on it. It's unlike anything I've driven before. Power hits from behind. No vibration in the wheels from the engine on the steering it's different. Cool car. Fun times ahead I'm sure.

                        That's my favorite sho gun I'm not a fan of the huge body kits.
