Geez, I guess there goes next years tuition fees, and if the old engine was anyting to go by then each run out will probably spend the same in gas.

Guess the new interior was too excellent to let you think about parting with the thing eh, good luck and see you soon.

Ya Eric... it wasn't exactly in the original budget... but being able to sell off the charger so quickly made things work out just fine.

Now... on to some pictures from the weekend. Got the engine bay cleaned up and the boost controller wiring routed into the dash.

Lol, thanks. I found a bolt when I was washing out the box, not sure if it was from your motor or Graeme's, either way, one of you will have lighter weight!
