got any pics of the process? you should have made a tech tip with pics for a engine transplant.... thats one thing i havent seen done well anywhere on the net

good luck with the project none the less, man. hope you can pull some power outta that new machine
Heh, thanks.

I started taking pictures (the ones I posted on SF and SM earlier this week), but haven't for a few days, it's too much of a hassle

I'm in a pretty well stocked shop, so tools aren't a problem. The only problems I've had so far are lack of motivation and too fucking cold out... I've got a lot of other shit happening in my life that I really didn't need right now, so I haven't been sleeping or eating much for the past two weeks, making working on the car for long periods of time difficult.

Hopefully this weekend I'll quicken up progress a bit. Motor is definately coming out tonight, and tommorow I'll try to get the new one put back together as quickly (yet neatly) as possible.

Paradox: as for power, at this point I just want it to start, run, and hold oil I don't really ever plan on installing any more power upgrades (maybe a 57-trim upgrade on stock fuel if I have the cash). At this point the clutch, aem cam gears, and avc-r are going to be my last mods, and if I can't break into the 13s on my current setup, then I suck

BTW, I picked up some 300zx wheels and painted them gunmetal... Got them for super cheap, should be an upgrade over the sawblades anyway:
