Another day spent working on the car. I've gotten the motor ready to take out of the old car and drop into the new car. Tomorrow I'm cleaning the engine, fixing the oil leak around the oil pressure sending unit, putting on the new long tube header, and putting everything into the new car. We got all the suspension put together as well today. The goal if the weather stays dry is to have the car running Friday. It's been pretty cold outside, and hasn't made the job any more pleasurable. The engine swap has been a pain because the engine has never been out of the car. I imagine most of your are thinking to yourself, "Isn't that a good thing??!!". However, my friend Dave's red RT has spent more time without an engine that it has with one. He's probably had 4 or 5 motors in the car since he bought it new in '99. The last motor exploded on the dyno when he put 100 shot of nitrous to it. His new motor is going to make over 220 whp, probably run 13's in the 1/4 mile, and be worth over $4K. Everyone has their own vices, I guess. Some just have more expensive ones. I'll just be glad to be able to go to work again...
