Welcome! How long have you been working on your swap?

bimbimr2 · 08-19-2007, 11:38 PM

i started it about a month ago, ie;pulling out teh old motor and prepping the new one but ran into some busy times and havent had time for it. so, i guess you would say for about a month now but really only about 2 hours worth of work. my friends and i are all mechanics in real life so things like this happen pretty fast.

That certainly is handy. You using it for DD?
