I finally got to the point where i am tired of having a 13B-Rew engine in my Fd and i'm doing an engine swap. Dropped it off at a shop in Kannapolis this weekend to have the start on it. They are doing a complete tube chassis front end and cage while they are at it.



<sigh>

AWESOME! I would like to see some pics of the installation. Are they going to push the motor back to keep the handling? Or are they just putting it in the stock location where you lower the control arms?

we are doing a tube chassis front end and move the engine back a lil. Rotorsports Racing is doing it for me while i'm back in Iraq... he's supposed to keep me updated with pics quite often and i'll try to pass them along to the forum as time permits.
