I made some more progress on the motor. If I manage to find some time this weekend the car might be running. Right now my goal is to have it track ready by PG2. As it sits right now I just need to hook up the wireing harness install the radiator and intercooler pipes and put on the transfer case.

on to pictures.

IT'S ALIVE. .
I got the car all together and started yesterday. Today I the did some break in pulls. Following the motoman break in procedure. It runs smooth and feels a little stronger off boost. I plan on changing the oil tomarrow and running out the E70 left in my tank before turning it up. PG2 here we come.

The car has been running great. I carpool to work, so my wife has been daily driving it for me. I think she has driven more miles sine the new engine than I have. I did take it for a long drive last week and was super excited when I drove the whole time with the AC on with no overheating issues. Saturday I retorqued the head studs and looked everything over. it seams good. I still haven't turned the boost up. I think part of me is scared its going to blow up again even though I know the new motor can take it. Im thinking of passing on proving grounds. I just don't have the money to waste right now, but well see.
