Went to go see Mike today, they were just about to pull the old engine out of the car. Travis was there working on it as well. Props to taking on such a serious project.

The old engine is out of the car. Waiting on the flywheel to be turned and the motor mounts to be pressed in.
I'll let Mike post up the pictures and talk about it in depth cause it is his project...but the car will be running tomorrow barring the catastrophic. -T
