I strongly recommend it if you got the cash for it, especially if your sc has 200k+ like mine... Plus looks,feels and sounds 100 times better than being NA

Well today I went over to the garage and decided to check out that oil leak on the drivers side, I finally figured out that it was leaking from the one plug on the oil filter bracket...so I went over to my ge block and took the bracket off and put it on my gte block and installed with oil cooler and fit like a glove...I'll check it in a couple days just to be sure the problem has been taken care of

Cool, I hope you have a heated garage, cause it sucks working in cold weather, especially when your hands are cold and you bang them...lol but you'll have plenty of time to get it ready...my swap took me about 3 months to complete...between waiting on parts, tearing motor apart,waiting on machine shop and have time off from work...Also went on vacation in between...The whole time I was on vacation all I can think about was my wiring harness that I left unfinished in my living room...lol

:update:...I've been keeping an eye on that drivers side leak now that I replaced my gte oil filter bracket with my ge oil filter bracket...finally the leak is gone, engine block is dry, the bracket was indeed leaking from one of the two plugs, so if anyone has any drivers side oil leaks on a fresh build...check that bracket...

There is always a sense of accomplishment when you know you did it yourself. You get to know the ins and out of your car. When something goes wrong, you know how to deal with it yourself. How is your swap going ?
