Swap in Progress

[dude8383]

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.

sweet, now we need some vid's of it in action man. do you have the p/n on spal fan? looks like the same one that i used for my car.

no rush, i just wanted to say that once that thing kicks on it sounds like you're about ready for freaking take off. that thing moves some serious air if its the same fan i have :)

Great job so far. Thanks for the pics and updates. Glad to hear Jesus help out as well. God always comes through when we need him. Did you tap the head for the temp sensor yourself or have a shop do that ?

This is very cool... I must ask about the headers- did they clear the subframe and swaybar without cutting and grinding anything?

Argh! Forgot the PN on the fan!

Amen, brother!

The shop that is doing the swap tapped the head.

Thank you!

No cutting, the shop used shims instead. As the motor mounts settle, it will be easier adjust.

Thanks man! I wish I was turning the wrenches, but alas, I don't have the skills, experience, tools, space or time. I applaud those that do.

The car is done! I drove her home (60 miles of open freeway, stop-and-go traffic, and a McDonald's drive-thru) yesterday in 100+ degree weather, and she ran very well. I really happy with the her, everything is better than I had hoped. The guys at TNG completely exceeded my expectations

The Lord never ceases to amaze me with His plan. He brought the right drivetrain at the right time, and brought the right people to do the installation.

I'll get her on the dyno at the 1,000 mile mark.

Pics to follow.
