The shop didnt finish the installation so we have to wait until next week. Here are some pictures of the engine ready to be install. It looks just like stock from the outside but different internals.

So cool! Why dont you just load it up and bring it to KS? We can Beta test it in a 97 with a 6-speed behind it.

Hey Scott,

I have two SC at home to test it out already. However, meeting in Texas is possible for the V8 owners. Your car will be awesome... I should get the car back on Wednesday. The shop needs 4-5 hours to get it done.

When exactly is this Texas meet scheduled?

With a day or even a week, I can check my schedule this spring semester to see if I will have time to flee from my students and join you guys. I will also be able to self-impose a deadline on myself to get my car to my liking if I am free.

The date is TBD. But expect it to be in late spring, if possible. Before the heat of the summer...
