    I do, but im not putting it in, the guy att my friends shop is. Hes got a lot of wiring to do, plus we have to get the drive shaft shortened. If i make it, it will be a miracle.

    It finally arrived today and there starting to get everything rolling this afternoon or tomorow. Drop motor, install headers, hookup engine wiring, install trans, shorten driveshaft, install crank case evac system into valve covers and weld bungs into header collectors, weld another bung for 02 sensor for air fuel guage, wire fuel pump and 3 new guages allong with water/methanol injections system and wire that also, install disc brakes and line lock, wire line lock, install and wire electric exhaust cut-outs, install floor mounted slap stick shifter. Well, thats all i can think of for now, o yea, and they only have 5 days to get it done till my BG. They have a crapload of stuff to do. o, and driveshaft safety loop.

    I finally sprund for a digital camera. I wont have any pictures of the motor out of the car, but will get some of it in the car and then all the guages and switches.

    Hopefully nothing goes wrong.:pray:

    One thing I'm going to do to save time is to unplug the horns and use the horn button to power the line loc.

    I need to find about 10 more things I can do like that! :laugh:

    I'm still not quite done but I think it will make it.

    And it won't be much to look at, either! :error:

    On second thought, it won't make it after all! Too many last minute problems. Maybe it will make it to the BPG event. (probably still won't be much to look at!)
