engine swap done finally *56k, broadband isnt taht expensive..*
 

well as most of you know i blew the rings out of my a6 adn i got a good deal on the Z6 so i desided to swap in the Z6. This swap was, well, hell to say the least. I had some help pulling it out but no help putting it back in and no picker or air compressor. This was a hand tools only, drag the motor around swap.

2) holds the stock Gready turbo kit air cone on lmao

Re:engine swap done finally *56k, broadband isnt taht expensive..*
 

It took me 2 4 hour days to get it in and out using all hand tools and breaks every so often ETC. Then a few hours screwing with it not starting. I want to have it turboed by April. i have an HF mani and OHO RBH5 turbo soo im halfway there.
