OK, maybe not kill, but I'd trade my wife for it... Maybe even my wife AND my FC, the 2 headaches in my life!

Yeah but your in LA. I'm trying to find on closer to home, CT, NY, NJ, MA, ME.
Prefer to find one without a motor since I have 2 13B N/A engines & trannys and 95% of a RE engine already. Figure even an N/A would be an intresting swap.

i shortened a gsl tranny the same way to put in my 808 i had. but only the distance of the 4 mounting bolts of the remote mount, going from 4 bolts to 2. worked excellent. removing the tail housing allows that shaft to rotate enough to drive the roll pin out without having to drill those holes like u did.

mounted my ecu and put a hole through the firewall today. i need to get the engine in next weekend so i can route all the wires etc and figure where to put the relays etc couldnt fit the emission harness plug through my grommet looks like i might have to cut or depin the plug and then put it back together.

theres a cubby that goes under the glovebox which will hide the ecu plus protect it from peoples feet.




just brought a roll of this tubeing for new fuel lines 3/8" will be for supply and return.

i think i might put the main relays etc by the ecu since the engine bay is to clutted what you guys think. or maybe it might be easer to mount stuff on the inside of the drivers side fender

some more stuff



looking for a rb 13b header if any one has one..
