Thanks and don't remind me. It took longer than I ewver would have dreamed. There are still some last details to button up, like installing the dipstick tube, rolling the fenders, but the MSD BTM **** in the glove box, replacing a brake line, and adjusting the clutch, but it's just nice to hear the car running again.

The guy helping me with the engine swap has a 93 LX of his own and he races quite a bit. He's also married with a kid, so time is tougn to come by. We also biut off a lot more once we got into it and didn't initially plan on the trans, clutch, motor mounts, power pipe, smog pump delete pulley, MSD BTM, among other thingsand making everything fit was a nightmare. We just figured that since we went this far, we should just go all the way.
