Re: the never ending project takes a turn...
Helllllllooooo new engine!
no engine harness yet as the it was still in the shell and it was a ------- nightmare trying to get it out. He said ---- it and he'll get it to me later as he'll take out the dash and heater core. We wasted like almost 2 hours trying to get the harness and in the end I didn't even get it. lol. Once I get it up on my stand I can tear off the unneeded mounts and ---- off and get it down to the basics and take a wire wheel to the block. Then shoot a coat of paint on it.
....and kids....this is why you should wear flip flops moving heavy *** 4G's.
It ain't no thing though. ----'ll buff out and I just walked it off.
The fun was getting it out of my wifes Chevy Venture by myself as the wife is ready to pop out the kid. So I took a big breath and went Hotrex on that ****** lifted out. 
Now that's how you get that ---- done.

I couldn't believe it either that I lifted that ****** out and then toss it on my skateboard/engine dolly and wheeled it into the garage. It was like those stories you hear about people lifting cars off of people from like an adrenaline rush. I'm surprised I didn't turn green and rip my clothes and go incredible hulk style lifting that thing.

Oh out of curiosity, who all has setup a standalone as wiring it and that whole ball of wax? I'm thinking while I have the money I could just go for a MS setup over using the stock 4g ecu and a safc.

It's all in how you setup megasquirt.
By default it uses GM sensors (IAT, etc). When I was interested in megasquirt you had to use a easytherm or some program to accept different sensor brands.
Talk to diyautotune or whatever that place was. They can help you with everything you need.
