Update(3-11-07)

Today i turned the key and she started on the first turn. Everything runs smooth and its amazing fast!!!! 100 more Horse Power is an unbelievable difference. Unfortunately this is the end of my swap. I learned alot and spent around 5k(USD). It was well worth it in the end because i now have a much faster car. Its finally the sportscar its supposed to be. The swap was a big learning experience with balancing money and i feel MUCH more comfortable when I lift a hood and look at an engine! I hope the pictures were good and if anyone has any questions just ask.
