That's all for now. Waiting for the headers to come back from being recoated. Probably early next week before I get them back, but I'm in no real hurry. I'd rather it take longer to make sure it's all set up right. More to come!

So, what year minivan/pontiac catelina are you driving? :tongue:

Seriously, looks like things are going well and are well documentented. Sorry I couldn't make it out there this weekend :(

Oh yeah, which is faster?

2 foot power

or 6 foot power

2 foot, naturally... It's the goatee. Chicks dig the goatee. :smoke-g:

FYI: I'm driving the Benz (background) or the Grand National. Sucks to be me...:rolleyes:

Wow, come to think of it, that second picture above, taken over 2 years ago (IIRC) was the true begining of your 3L swap if you think about it. That very engine was your parts engine for the 3L swap ... pretty cool :)

I can't wait till my hover conversion kit comes in from American AntiGravity (http://www.americanantigravity.com) comes in. Our cars look sick floating!
