Well...plans have changed, as they always do...
NO, I am not abandoning the project!
BUT, I am switching up my rad / inter-cooler setup, as well as going with a stock gtx exhaust manifold and VJ20 turbocharger for now. See how that performs and then upgrade form there, so I can see how it progresses etc...
ANYWAYS, big update is ....

Everything came out nice and easy. Just raised the car on the lift while the motor and parts stayed on the ground.
Here is a quick pic of the new motor and trans, as well as the old front cv axles, spindles, rotors etc...
