well, if all i had to do was install the engine i would take you up on that bet, but at this point it would be easier to say what i dont need to install. Hey harry, how you like these wheels on there?

i really like those wheels!! what size? are those 16x7's?
I have alot more than just install the engine. I have to also wait on the exhaust and several other parts to come from my parts vendor, classic and speed parts. the exhaust will be the big hold up, as its getting ceramic coated and will take an extra week of waiting to get that back.
as for what else i need to do, i need to put in a new engine tin perimiter seal, new gear box ground strap, new battery terminal and ground, por-15 trunk, por-15 engine area, sound deadening, drill a mount for my full flow oil filter housing (now my engine will have modern oil filtration, will run cooler and will have a longer life). not really much, but will take time none the less.
before the taj, i want to get new tires, new wheel bearings, new spring plate bushings, front sway bar, lower, balance and align. i want to strip, por-15, and recarpet by the end of the year, as well as do the window seals and headliner. but that may be pushing it.

yup, 16x6 up front and 16x7 in the rear. Ordered my thinner tires today so i can clear the rear fenders easier. Working on the brakes now, installed my 19mm master cylinder and i am working on running brake lines and cleaning everything up along the way.

She looks amazing, I can't believe that it's the same car I traded to you. Your bodywork abilities are impressive, that's definitely not my area.
I got your E-mail and I'll be replying more in-depth to that when I get more than a couple moments. For the record though, I want the first crack at buying it back if you ever decide to sell.
