How long did it take you to install the new motor? Did you have any problems once you got it installed? Good job. Where were your so called friends at while you was working on the car by yourself?

I had 24 of my friends in the fridge, and used at least 15 of them too.
Took the old motor out because it was blown. To what extent I am not sure yet untill i have time to tear it down. It took about 5 hours to put it back in and another 5 hours to swap every thing over from the old motor to the new motor. i had to change motor mounts, wire harness, injectors, turbo, a few sensors, tranny support braces, throttle linkage, flex plate. You see, the new motor was a 87 5 speed JDM, and my old motor was a 89 auto. So lots of things to switch around. I have about 15 total hours in swap.

That's pretty bad ass, doing a swap in fifteen hours. The next time you go to your fridge, let Chris Ferguson out.....................:biglaugh:

A little bothered that I didn't get in tothe 12's, but she ran 13.36 at 105 mph. Well guess its time to upgrade the turbo.
