Well metroschultz went home with the pictures in his camera so I only have a few pics to post. As soon as he wakes up I am sure he will post them. But here is what I have.



He has all the pictures of actually installing the engine. I just had that one. I had some other random pics like when a friend wanted to play with the tractor so I sent her out to beat on a junk metro.



And one pic of him leaving. I had to show him what dirt road to take over the mountain for a short cut getting out of here. This pic was at the bottom of the mountain right when he was starting up the hill.



The car has the engine out of the junk 97 model that was getting flattened in that one pic. It has around 200psi of compression in each cylinder so it was the best one I had. We put the xfi camshaft in it and set the ignition to 8 degrees. It also has the swift 3.52 transmission in it. Seems like a really good running car now.
