Got the engine in.

NOT REALLY THAT SMALL. I'll just let the pictures do the talking.


Some nice new brake line work for the new discs. Just need to do some bleeding.

I was so happy to get the engine off of it's stand - where it's been for almost 3 years.

I decided what a better opportunity to take a pic than this.

Almost there.

AHhhhhhh.... Sexiness...

Just love my march pulley system.

Can't forget our little helper

OH my F-N God.. Some more sexi-ness.

Still needs to come down some - stock suspension so that will all be changed out. But not too bad for a starting point

Here is my son Kai - looking at Andy setting up a ladder on my porch so he could get some "sky" shots. I think he's thinking "what in the world is this guy doing?"

Last but not least - the Ass shot. I think I may have to go a little skinnyer in the front tire. It is SUPER close to not tucking. I have a 17x8 up front with 245/45 on there. I'm thinking of going down on the tire, so I can slam the front down. smile.gif

Who sourced the AOD? I'm asking because, much as I like the FMX (yeah, I'm just weird that way); a little taller gears in the chunk are in the car's future; and that 0.67 top gear sounds awfully good for my gas budget

I bought it from a guy in Florida - He rebuilds them and gave me a great deal. I think I paid around $1300 shipped to the door with the high stall. I'll try to dig up his info and PM you with it.
