and so the project begins (fd)

well recently my engine up and died on me, smokes horribly and spews oil out, prolly a number of problems, quite possibly including spun bearing and blown oil seals, we will see. this weekend i pulled the engine and trans out, along with exhaust and ppf. i will post up soome pics taken before and during the engine pull a little later, and will take pics of it as it gets put back together with either a rebuilt motor or a new soul, im unsure about what direction the car will be heading in. but stay posted for some pics either way

LS2, He's had an LS2 block for a while that he wants to build up. I say just do the LS2 already or sell the block so you stop debating
