Planning to build up my engine.. not an easy task in the land of the sand :(

Louis, get the second engine ready to go, then do the swap. Plan it when I'm in town and I'll stick around for a couple of extra days and help you out.
As you know, I'm getting pretty good at S197 motor swaps now.

Wow


After reading all of these posts, I think I'm going to reconsider the purchase of the Whipple HO kit and possibly go for something with a little less mustard... I kind of figured that with the HO kit, you'd be replacing the stock clutch in a matter of months, but I didn't think the stock internals would be a ticking timebomb.

The whipple kit is not to be blamed Penguin.
the fact of the matter is, running any boost on the stock 3V motor with its shitty -amongst other things- connecting rods, means it's just a matter of time till a bad tank of gas or a computer burp could fuck shit up!
