Did you find a K&N with a CARB EO sticker? Care to share the part number? It's the last part i need to go back to the ref and get my motor swap signed off. Cheapest kit i found was k&n 57-1000 for like $240.

ruh rowe... I was just gonna use the filter from that kit. The only other items with the kit are the tube and heat shield...

looking at that engine bay I cant believe the miles on it. You are going to bring new life into that car with that engine. AWESOME.

Thank you, zed em blau diablo!

Almost forgot: I'm sure anyone who has purchased an engine/trans has wondered, prior to installation and start-up, whether or not the seller was legit and the motor would function as intended. Thank you Jesus that this thing is running.
