    Default Engine swap this weekend

    I'm doing a 99 motor swap into my car this weekend at TDR. If anyone wants to help, I think I could use you.

    Current plans.

    Friday night - clean up 99 motor parts
    Saturday - Pull old motor and trans and finish assembling 99 motor.
    Sunday - Install 99 motor and trans
    Monday - Tie up loose ends as necessary

    Call or text me at too-won-fore 7oh7 9 Juan Juan 2 or email me at william at trackdogracing dot com
    ...and across the line.

    4 days for a motor swap? I did the NC in my garage in 10 hrs. Step it up there, BR.

    word. I did the VVT swap including wiring and rear end swap in 3 days, alone, in a one car garage. I was very lonely.

    I gotta run by TDR tomorrow, so I'll stick around for a little bit and see what kind of progress you're making. Might even snip a few wires for ya!


    But seriously, you can take a look at my car and see where stuff hooks up on the '99 motor.

    Oh man, I wish I could come help, I really want to see how this is done. I'd probably get in the way anyways, so it's probably best that I'm going out of town :P

    So this is taking way to damn long! We're barley about to drop the engine in now. If anyone wants to help come on by. We're gonna be here for a while longer. Because after this my car is next. I'm thinking this is gonna be an all nighter.
