Nice pics. Did you put in the motor that's in your sig? How did you fit 2.02's and 1.9's in the heads? I didn't think they would fit. But if they did, those heads should be awsome cause there main weakness it the intake/exhaust flow ratio so if you're getting a considerable more amount of exhaust out, you're probably making a lot of HP.

Looks great so far man. LOVE the motor! The only complaint that I have is the body. Im just not that fond of the SC. It should fly never-the-less!!

I like the garage! Damn, that's the way to do a motor swap. I am going to be putting mine in Saturday. Have a inteagral garage under the house. I have to roll the car out, pull the hoist in, attach the motor/trans to picker, then push the car in. The only good thing about the small garage is when you crank the radio its loud as hell in there.:rockon:

yeah it helps when you have the right tools. It's a big garage. Has lifts, engine flush station, flush dump, radiator flush, steam blaster etc...Makes the process a lot easier. My #1 enemy on the road right now is the new Mach 1. I am gonna find one, and race him for emblems. It's what I love to do!

I probably could have done my motor swap at work, where all my tools are, lift, torches, etc. I don't like asking for too much from them though. They are always cool about simple things, but I don't want the well to dry up. I'll be doing all my tuning at my work. I want to try and see if I can use the inspection machine to measure hp and torque, don't know if it's possible.

I haven't seen a new Mach 1 yet. A friend of a friend has a newer cobra and he's talking smack. I never thought of the emblems. That's a cool idea. Do you make them take them right off the car in front of you, or do you let them buy some for you to put in the "kill pile".

lol, funny thing about my valve covers, took the shop I ordered them from 3 tries to get it right. I wanted High rise center bolt chrome valve covers. First they got me high rise side bolt covers, then low rise center bolt THEN high rise. They didn't cost me much. I think you can order them from PAW. I think my engine looks pretty clean...plus I can't wait to dyno. I am projecting over 425+.

forgot to reply to the emblem question...I had them in my car on my dash with red X's over them. Took them out, but I will put them back in. I try to take the emblems off of the car. That is better than any amount of money.

It had a 305 that I was getting 15 flats out of. I had the money and built the motor. Then about 2 weeks after i finished the motor, my 305 blew a headgasket and the rings were going so I did the swap.
