And it's alive! I've put about 60 miles on it so far. Runs pretty well with Lito's help. Just a little bit more power than the 4.0

Late to the party, good luck with the swap and build!

The last couple weeks have been filled with tidying up a bunch of little things to make it a nice car once again. Fixed the exhaust leaks, made the wiring and some clamps more sanitary in the engine bay, installed a very neat Innovative LC2 wideband setup, swapped to FR500S mufflers and added Magnaflow race mufflers in the OTAs. Also since I picked up a set of 18x10 F14s for the slicks (thanks again John!), I could retire the 18x9.5s to street duty. Had them mounted to a fresh set of BFG Comp2 A/S which are surprisingly grippy in all conditions so far.

A few more tiny things left, including some dyno time, but for now I'm just going to drive it and have fun.
