Its not running yet because there are a lot of hoses and things I need to hook up but the hardest part is over. The Homeowners Association is all over my ass for doing this shit to.

Looking very nice! I'm jealous!
Looks like fun in the rain...
It sucks trying to do stuff like this when you don't have a garage... I mean, I've got a garage, but my pool table is in there, and even if it wasn't, it still wouldn't be big enough to really do much of anything, so I have to do all my work on the street in front of my house since I don't have a drive-way. It's a big fat pain in the ass, but I manage.
Good work man.

Yeah this swap wasn't that hard. The weather didn't want to cooperate with me much either, it rained a couple days this week. Also I couldn't get my bitch pin out of the linkage so I had to drop down the engine to the ground and lift the car and pull the tranny out of the side, it was really annoying to do. Other than that stuff MPFI was easy except for de-pinning the ECU which was hard.
And this is basically why the Homeowners Association hates me...

Car parts, engines on tarps cover in oil, fluids all over the place. It is pretty white trash looking I admit, but I mean its not like I was leaving it their for a long time. But its all good now so they can suck it. But they threatened to have my car towed. If they try to I will tell them to kiss my ass and then tow everyone elses car cuz my car can roll, it's not on jackstands, it just doesn't run yet.
