    3 years later and it finally runs!

    Here's a couple of quick videos. It runs a little rough right now, some good tuning will definitely help. The high compression and larger valves are going to really make this thing move. It sounds like a hot rod at the moment with the late E36 headers and no exhaust.

    Computer speakers won't justify the rumble unless you've got a good sub.

              about damn time. I guess you DID wrap up before your projected completeion date. :p




              What was the problem with the no start.

                      Ha, yeah I guess I beat the 2048 ECD...although I haven't driven it yet.

                      I've still got some work cleaning up wiring and replacing the gauge cluster...again. After that I can take it to have hangers welded to the UUC exhaust. Then I get to play with the PLX Devices air/fuel ratio gauge. I'll probably be contacting Matt at that point to see if he can cut a chip for me.

                      The body's not in the shape I'd like it to be, so I'll hopefully paint it by the end of summer.

                      It's funny how there have been people on this board coming, starting the swap, finishing, and leaving several times...and I'm just now starting to wrap it up. But I did almost this whole swap depending on the people on this board. So thanks guys!
