Swap Done!, Started up in car, a few proablems came about during the swap.
Fuel Tank VERY Rusty and needs cleaning - If anyone has a used tank he maybe interested.
Fuel Pump Rusted BADLY - Going to need a new one (Looks Around)
Ignition switch F-ed up from salt water, changed it with Clip
Starter Interlock (Clutch Switch) rusted and not working, had to bypass to get it to turn over.
Gauge Cluster is F-ed, Going to try and clean it up.
Engine harness from Jpsec to Uspec has one connector that is different, it has one extra wire and a bigger connector. Had to change out the connectors.
Other then that it was pretty normaly swap, Total time about 13 hours including lunch break
The only thing left is cleaning the rest of the car up due to the flood damage, and working on some small electrical issues.

Last night for ***** and giggles Chuck and I tore down the IKE motor.
It was ugly but not as bad as I would have thought.
Hopefully Chuck will post pics of the poor poor motor.

On a scale of 1-10 what would you say it is. 1 being a Huge paper weight and 10 salvageable for a rebuild.
3-4ish total
Irons = 2 Cant be saved without alot of work!
R-Housing= 4 Have a few rusted parts on the chrome.
Rotors= 3 Almost paper weights
Hey on the video, the oil was cleaned up with car litter, hehe, for the environmentally friendly people (Looks Around) I don't think we have any here.
