Cool What The Hell Did I Get Myself Into?!

All I have to say is that I am having fun! I am not sure what is worse, my T56 swap or this?











Can you see the 3 NEW bolts? 6 done, 10 more to go!

I usually low ball it to be on the safe side so I don't get disappointed. Maybe 330rwhp, w/ mid 13s! Also knowing I did it my self and it still runs!

The valve cover are stock ones that I painted up. I ground down the tabs that are not in use and made little brackets to move the coils up an inch. I am going to run two passenger side covers and delete the PVC system. Then going to run twin oil cap breathers with a cross over tube to balance the pressure. I will have pics of course at the ind of the build if I am confusing anyone.

Here are the breathers I am talking about!
