Default MOTOR IS IN!

yup finally got the old out and new in. accesories wiring harness and upperintake are all i have to put on, and tighten up some bolts... i droped it in w. the trans still in the car, which went alot easier then i expected, if someone needs it, i can explain the process(i.e. how we suported the trans up w.out the motor, dumb **** like that...) it was easy this way, suprisingly

so uh yea, its in... few things left to do, eithr tomorrow or tuesday... just updating yall...

btw... i need new paint... i ****ed it all up[:@]... hood and fenders look like ***... anyone know how to get greese off of paint? lol

Awesome! Good to hear you finally got some good weather to get some work done! For the paint thing, just try some rubbing compound like Turtle wax shyt. It worked pretty for me. Just a thought. Let us all knowhow the build goes!

j/p good to hear it. ur gonna have to let us know how much different the car feels with all the new drivetrain components you put on it.
and if you woulda used fender covers you wouldnt have to worry about grease

I have used wesleys bleach whit on a white car and it got all kinds of stains out of the paint, did not hurt the paint either.

first try some fast orange...the smooth kind. and if that doesn't work, #0000 grit steel wool will do the trick. just get the paint wet and very lightly go over it with the steel wool. worked on my BLACK car many times. it pretty much just takes the wax off, so you might want to wax your car. or you could even try clay barring it.
