Ok, well, this past weekend I didn't get an engine stand because I don't have the adapter and didnt feel like buying one. SOOO instead I just put the motor on my old floor stand(w/wheels) so I can move the motor around the garage easily and get to work. I am off of work tom, so when I get back from classes I plan to have most of the motor dressed minus the UIM and the oil pan. I am having my old flywheel resurfaced and I'm going to reuse it for the time being, because I'm really inpatient. Once I get that on, I'll install the motor mounts and the clutch and drop the motor into the car. The motor SHOULD be in the car by the end of next week which will leave me next weekend to hook up the wiring, starter, tranny, radiator, and some misc stuff. My goal is to have the car running by the 23rd and insured/tagged/inspected(HA) by the following Monday. BTW, I am not going to pass inspection, and I don't care, I just want the rejection sticker so I can use 15 days to break the motor in legally, after that...**** IT!

wha kind of engine and how much horsepower were you expecting?

So you are always going to have no inspection?

The motor is a custom built StageII large streetported motor. It's capable of over 400HP no problem. My personal goal is anywhere from 410 to about 450RWHP. It will probably have to wait til spring time to finalize the turbo kit though...





About the inspection...I never really planned to be able to pass inspection, I just want to get the rejection sticker for 15days so I can drive around a little. After the 15days are up, I MIGHT try and locate a stock cat and wing it, lol...

where are you? i have a loaner cat....

I'm in Va...

you cant just find a place that has people with ah, shall we say, shady values?

We do have a few places, but the cops have told any shop in our town that does that for any number of persons(I'm on a **** list...go figure) then they will yank their license for state inspections....

So you figure dump alot of cash in your car, then have a car that all the local cops will know, and pull you over everyday until they arrest you and impound the car? Doesnt make much sense to me?
