Ok guys, well today I am going to be removing my engine and replacing it with a built engine. As most of you know, I turbo charged my car, a couple of months back. Well, I had originally wanted to have a built bottom end. Unfortunately, due to a mix up, the wrong parts came and I was forced to pretty much have the car reassembled stock and turbo it that way. Well, I have recently bought a new oil pump, new water pump, new timing kit, rod and main bearings and the works. I had a spare block that i had put down at the shop i work, and I have honed it and cleaned it up and I am going to put it in today. I will take pictures and document everything and post it for everyone to see and learn. Wish me luck guys, as today is going to be a long day!!!!!!!!!!

Ok guys, well jsut an update, finally got the engine out of the car, had a couple little snags and I wasn't able to get started until like 6:30 last night, so I am pretty confident that either by tomrrow or tuesday, the new engine should be in the car and the break in procedure can begin, again!!. Well , I will post the pics tomorrow, I am just too tired to go and get the camera and start downloading them to the compter.
