NEITHER of you get it, if everything was bojangled about it, would you even trust the swap? you say fix it....ha, he woulda had to start over....so he did....with a better powerplant (let the flaming begin)

BTW we arguing a moot point. he bought it, pulled the swap and stuff, hooked it up, and now sold it. the end

everything could be fixed sak.... that's the point they were making. Buy stock,build it would've been a lot easier...than buying a fixed up one built for one style(show 'shotty work') and taking everything out to build it for another style (track)

true but if it was you would you trust ANYTHING about the swap knowing everything else was half assed? ture but i think with what he sold, he made up alot of the $ he used to make it the track car.

This thread is depressing!! I Read every page from 1-16 hoping to to find a beasty car in the end but just found a good lesson. Going fast is to much money for me. And I was thinking about starting to build my motor up. Not no more.
