Kidding.
I've got the money put back for the engine, i should be picking it up sometime later this weekend or early in the week. Low milage, strong running 302 with ECU, Harness, all manifolds, ignition, fuel system, ect. for $300. Hopefully i'll be able to post a video of the inital start-up when spring comes around, i doubt i'll get much done with the swap over the winter aside from collecting parts due to an unheated shed which i will be working in.

Heh, i didn't post the details. I just discussed with him the final things about it after he stopped by this evening. A little update for the people who called BS on me.
It's taking longer than i expected, i was expecting to have it running by the end of this month. The guy buying my Camaro backed out on me after i held the car for him for a month. I resorted to getting a job to pay for this, unfortionately it'll be too cold to work on a car this late in the year.

One doesn't even need to modify the internals to hit high 12's with this setup in a naturally aspirated form.

mar3 are you some kind of rotary police?
It seems like you can do any mod, any monstrosity at all around here until you mention a V8.
I say good luck on the swap. The car is pactically made for it. you will find that it is surpisingly simple.
