Today I got my car in the garage and started getting it ready for the engine to come out. Once I get it out i'm going to start hiding wires and cleaning/painting the engine bay and install my qa1 k-member.

How is yours driving? Is the power just crazy? What are you doing for a tune right now? When are you going to the dyno?

I had mine out saturday for a little while. The power is not as crazy as I was expecting, but I still need to upgrade my ignition and get it tuned. It's still a helluva lot of fun tho . I've spent more money than I have in order to get this thing running, so it will be probably about 2 months before I can afford the MSD box and a tune. Right now Im just running it on the stock computer.

Well, tonight i spent a few hr on her. I spent over an hr on the fuse box. The bolt on the side that mounts the battery cables to the box somehow got bent. I had to take the fuse box apart so i could get to it and now i have to cut the bolt off and replace it. I think i'm going to take the engine out tomorrow night and see where i go from there.
