why the sudden motivation?
I have the car up for sale as a roller, but today on some kind of freak whim I decided to do this
some time tomorrow I'm gonna finish mounting it and try to hook everything up so i'll at least start
on a side note...its kinda freaky how small it is huh?

Looks like you can actually work on that motor without breaking a knuckle or having a small asian girl available to reach things

yea, whe i 1st got it it took me 30min to do the tune up, o2 sensors, oil change and alternator. it took 4 hours with only jack stands to do usp55's headers...v6 does have a practical advantage

I got it figured out now. cleaned the threads like hell the other night, and installed the studs with loctite ( instructions says its ok to use if it I wish for a permenant fixture of them) Re-torqued the mains, and all came to .002, so I got plenty of room now. next step, pistons and connecting rods.
