Heh, it was like building my engine in a bar at 1AM. Everyone's drunk, the music was loud and the place is full of cigar/cigarette smoke. The work bench was covered with engine parts and beer bottles. And No, I wasn't drinking while building the engine icon_razz.gif Never a dull moment at Dan's place!

Thx Davy! I honestly didnt expect it to turn out as clean as it did. I'm almost NOT looking forward to seeing it between the fenders of my "turd on wheels". The key word being almost icon_biggrin.gif

 

I hope to get the engine/tranny combo in the car this coming weekend. One step closer to being among the group of asphault terrorists!
