#343313 well its starting...I have today and tomorrow off, spent all day yesterday taking the swap out of the old ej2 and getting ready to go and clean it up a bit...then I should be able to pull the car in there and start pulling the other motor...I will try to take pics as I go but I have limited time and only a few extra hands at this point, and only for a few hours later today.. found out the y7/y8 swap eats oil...doesn't burn it, no blue smoke.... doesn't leak bad...its just gone...3 quarts in 2 days... :? started to knock, then put oil back in and stopped knocking? I don't know whats up with this thing but I don't trust it....anyway. will make sure to keep you guys updated!
