How does my engine swap look?
Here are some pictures of my TPI swap when I just got it running, so everything wasnt finished or perfected. Since these, the motor has been out and I put aluminum heads on it and all kinds of other stuff. How does it look for just getting it going?

Well, it didnt run too bad. I had some tranny problems and such, so I never got it working just right. I had to quick put a regular TH-350 with a tight converter in it so it was drivable when the car got painted. I only probably had 150 miles on it before I stored it for winter again and pulled the motor back out. The car could beat my buddies 6 speed 99 WS6 until I ran out of breath in 3rd gear because the car has 3.73s. Around 5000 rpms in third, I suddenly got a good look at the nice tail lights of a Trans Am
The car G-teched 13.9 at 103, so take that however you want. I have a ton of new parts on it now, including a set of cleaned up ED 6085s, and I expect to thourougly dust that T/A now. I'll post times this spring. Also, thanks for the compliment.
