I havent gotten that far yet. I am envisioning running it around the oil filter and oil cooler lines.

Nice. did it come with the parts you need tho?

[nny403]

Not sure as I haven't purchased it yet. $3k is a good chunk of change to save up. Right now im strictly in block, valve train and drive train prep. The goal is to have the "I" engine and trans swapped in by end of summer. Then next summer drop in turbo as I drive convertible.

Ken-- if you need another motor for a spare or whatever, let me know. I've got a 2.7i that needs some work that I want to get rid of.

[nny403]

Does it have a computer and how much?

[e30austin]

Yes, it does. Sending you a message on Facebook.

Small update most of the stuff is here I'm putting together small bits as well as changing every bolt washer and nut I can so it looks cleaner, and I have some commonality of heads. Done adjusting the valves, timing belt is on, water pump is going on then I'll hook up the alternator and get ready to swap in a new AC compressor so I can run A/C with R134a easily.
