Update: going with power FC. RE mount adaptors DONOT work. Going to have the shop fab me up something when they have time going to run me ~550USD to solve the mounting problem.
So Total so far into this swap I have spent 85 for flywheel, going to have to spend 550 for a crossmember with mounting points, and another 1200 for the power FC and the stuff to get it running. The rest have been freebies and or off the parts car.




I still need to get a custom downpipe (?), mount the motor, install the power FC (wiating on adaptor), get some new mounts, and figure a way to ship it to hawaii.

If you're using the stock twins a stock downpipe will work for you. You MAY need to angle it down slightly after the firewall. I made my complete exhaust save the downpipe. I cut off the flange (HORRIBLE ANGLE) and welded on some flex pipe and a V-band. if I were you I would buy or get a good catback exhaust (with a 3" -> 2x 2&3/8 or so pipes) and just solve the problem of getting the DP to mate to the Catback. I think that would definately be the quickest and easiest thing to do. Don't get bogged down with the details. I want to see this done and teddy proven wrong yet again. If you need ANYTHING - PM me.

Agreed. It'd be much cheaper for the OP to fly out than ship the car. teddy is going to want to see it for himself so possibly a few forum members can confirm that the thing actually meets the terms of the bet before teddy forks over the coin to get it shipped to witness it for himself.

Oh, don't worry about me; I'm subscribed to this thread.
I'm sure I'd get tons of PM's if something significant happens.

I'm just laughing at all the dumbasses who insist I also pay for the car.
**** dat.
I wasn't the dumbass who claimed they could stick their FC in MY ******' garage.
Why don't all you bitches make a donation to ship the car over rather than reply with something stupid?

I'm also getting ready to go to SEMA08 next week...
So don't expect me to post anything significant (in this thread) over the next two weeks.

Way to not be a man & back out Ted. A few hundred dollars (airfare) for a bet that you are so sure about should be nothing. Now if you're so certain, why not bet the shippage? Little scared are we now?

That bitch still mouthing off?
I wish the system would also supress replies from others so I don't have to see his garbage...

For those who have no clue how the airlines works...
A FULL FARE coach ticket from the OP's location to Hawaii can cost upwards to $1,000 to $1,500.
I'm setting aside $2,000 just in case for this.
Sorry, but I'm not rich as punk who drops 2 large whenever I want to.
I'm not get jack in terms of money or good if I win, so why the **** I should put more money?
If anything, I think the OP (or you hater bitches) should put up something equivalent to make it fair...

All you hater bitches just want me to lose, so you're insisting on lopsided terms.
I'm not that stupid.
Now, unless you **** are willing to match my CASH prize, why don't you just STFO.

Awe, name calling are we now? Who's a little whiny bitch now? The only reason I'm on your ignore list is becuase I have in the past proven you wrong - again - way to be a man.

I'd GLADLY match it if I was contributing to the build. Since I'm not contributing, nor am I nearly as pompus as you are, why would I pony up? I have no idea what the OP is capable of. Why bet on a total stranger, you on the other hand, ***, thinks the world of himself and in teds little basement, ted is never wrong, regardless of how many times it has and will in the future be proven, you CANNOT accept the fact that you could be wrong. So, I say again. If you are so certain - pony up. If not, cry in a corner. If we wanted to see you loose we would be asking for less mpg, one mechanical failure, or a longer timeframe. This has not been asked for. We want to see you loose BIG. We want your ego deflated some.

FWIW - I agree, the OP should pony up if he fails. It would only be fair. Say, give you the engine?

To be fair Ted, you know exactly why there are so many 'hater bitches' in these threads. You're uncouth to the point where you're downright rude, even after you've proven incorrect. I'm not saying that you should ship this FC to HI, but a little humility would be nice.

It's people like you that need to step away from the computer...
Do you even manage to laugh and smile IRL?
You're talking this **** too seriously.

Judging from your post count, you need to read more and STFO until you have a clue what's going on...
You realize that the "STFO" is a joke right?

Now, seriously...
Get the **** out of this thread.
You're not offering anything of value to this thread, and unless you're offering to back up the OP in some way, I'd suggest you to STFO.
If you got another personal opinion of me, send it to me via PM.
Your personal opinions about me do not belong in this thread, which makes your replies of no use and unnecessary.


-Ted
