big fan of G
wow, this is the first time I even seen an engine swap on a G. I went through all 40 pages, this is crazy. Cant wait to see exterior pics too. You actually got the engine running too. A few doubters in here owe you an apology...but its typical to see some hating within every project. And i'm not talking about the criticizm, i'm talkin bout the hate when updates werent coming as fast as the audience wanted to see.

Not saying he won't finish the car... just feel like we'll never see it.

What's up kel? Any updates on your project?
I finally got my VH45 and I've been buying every single replacement part imaginable... ie: new timing chains, gasket overhawl kit, thermostat, water and oil pump, tensioners, motor mounts, oil filter, etc...
I got ARP making head studs, clevite making the bearings, I got a machine shop water-jetting intake and exhaust flanges, I got some sick stainless bends for the turbo manifolds, venolia making low comp pistons,...
Its tons of work and time... definitely not a project for someone in a hurry.
Did you get yours up and running?
