Nice swap,, love how you did the engine bay shiny black,, im just finishin up my own M50 swap,, will throw in a thread when im done

[ShowStopper]

yea throw up a thread. that would be sweet. the bay is only black is bc thats what my dad had laying around from his car that he just painted. i still have a lot more to get for this motor so i know i dont have to take it back out for havin leaks. I really just wanna slap it together and be able to drive it. its driving me nuts . but i want it done right the first time.

[ShowStopper]
