I will most assuredly post picks as soon as the motor comes in and we start the install.

Yeah and I had been a little upset because I contracted the long block in November. However, the shop was busy through Christmas and I wasn't in a huge hurry since my existing motor is still intact. However, I really thought we would have been farther along then we are. Guess it worked out for the best!

One of those times when patience payed off!

Yeah the vehicle the motor is coming from is wrecked (totaled) so they are going to pull everything they can out of it. We will probably make the trip this week to get the engine, trans, and anything else we can salvage.

Also looking at the fuel system and the DS if we can make it work. Kinda sucks, I just had my driveshaft installed only a few weeks ago.

I´m sure the GT500´s also use the stinky 2 piece DS, so don´t worry about that.

I'm surprised the engine wasn't damaged. I mean to total a $50,000 car it'd have to be pretty F'd up.
