snow sucks (update on swap)!

I really picked the WRONG season to do something as major as an engine swap (although the reason I did it was the clutch, which was gonna die before the end of the season, no question). Since I started the swap, my town's recieved about 36 inches of snow.... and another 6 inches predicted tonight.... joy

On the VERY plus side, I've got everything back into the car and mounted up. I primed the oil and coolant in the engine, and I'll fire it up tomorrow... Should be exciting!

)

amen to that.... it's 17 degrees F outside right now, and I've still gotta do a little work before I can really fire it up. Read: attach downpipe to exhaust manifold so my neighbors don't kill me
