Nice intercooler... Copycat. :biggrin:

Still plan to take it to HTP for the piping?

not sure yet on the pipeing it will all depend on the funds, i figure with HTP it will cost me around 400.00-450.00. I can pick up a treadstone.com kit pre made with all couplers,t-bolts and all piping pre bent for my year and style of car for 300.00 shipped. So we will see when it comes to that point in a cpl weeks.

Ok next update, tonight allex cam over and helped me get the motor off the engine stand cause there was NO way i was going to be able to do that by myself. Well after fighting with the tranny for about a hour we finally got it mounted up and bolted together, after that the motor basically fell into the engine compartment after that.

So tonight we got the motor and tranny installed, the axles, and new front suspension installed, part of the motor wired up and the driver side of the car wire tucked. So tomorrow i have to finish wiring up the motor, reinstall the fuse box and battery, wire tuck the passanger side of the car, install the new fuel filter and hook up the heater lines and radiator lines plus install the shift linkage and do the rear suspension.

but for now here are more pics:

-Motor and tranny

-Car jacked up waiting for the motor

-Installing the motor

-Ok motor in and mounted

-Pic of new suspension and the temp wheels till my new ones come in

*in the pic above in allex and his 1hour shifter bushing install ..poor guy*

peace chris

wtf? last time I did it (d-series bushings on d-series linkage) it took me all of 5 minutes including pressing out the old front bushing and putting in the new one. and for the back, like I said 100 times: put the bushing on the floor and shove the linkage through it!
