Wow, that is cool. I wanted to do the carputer when people were making their own, didn't realize they had them in that nice of package. That would sure beat keeping a laptop on the seat.

Wow been a little bit.
Well work is slowing down a bit, only 40 hr weeks for a while so I'm able to put some time into the car. I ended up with a used longblock from a local, thank you. It runs great and feels very strong.
Actually this is probably the first motor I have had that is good because I cannot turn the motor by hand like I could with all my past motors, I understand why people want the plugs out when trying to turn the motor by hand.
9/22/12 - Getting started on the motor pull. blackawdtsi came over to help. It for sure wouldn't of happened so quickly without his help. Thanks again.

9/22/12 - I was an idiot and decided to install my dual Flex-A-Lite Fan setup, made for a lot more headache, but I'm glad its on there. It moves over 2000cfm of air!

On a side note, people stop running damn zip ties through perfectly good radiators! Holy crap. I know have a SPAL 14" fan for sale!
9/22/12 - New motor on stand. Stock bottom end, 2G head with full Evo valvetrain.
