And MAN do I hope it runs good, I've spent 2 weeks installing the new engine and other assorted stuff. No IC pipes on in the pic because I had pulled them off to reweld the joints.

It's a stock one...I drilled out the spot welds on the outer pulley and yanked it off, and drilled some holes in the outer perimeter of the inside pulley to make it look a bit different. Came out pretty decent.

Looks very good, Seems there there is alot of engine swapping going on these days.. I assume you bypassed the stock oil cooler, I was wondering if i should bypass it when i did mine, but so far i dont have any problems with it. Its aways exciting to run a new motor for the first time, My startup didnt go as smoothly as i had hoped, but the turbo's getting rebuilt and i should be boosting shortly.

I got rid of the stock oil cooler awhile ago...I had a different one on before, but elected to get a new one now since I went with the remote filter mount (wanted to be able to run a full size FL-1 filter).

Also I am rather nervous about starting mine...I'm a chronic worrier though

Oh yeah...one more gratuitous engine shot
