We got the old engine out today with no hassles or issues. I got the bay stripped as much as I could and tomorrow I can start cleaning it out then get to the sanding and prepping for new paint. Oh, my new Rota Grids came in this afternoon as well, just need some tires!

SO, I picked up a y8 vtec head this evening to begin the new project. I’m planning on converting my d16y7 that is currently in the car to a vtec motor, then adding some boost. This way, I can use a lot of the existing parts I already have without fully swapping to another series motor/trans. Keep an eye out here for updates on the project…and pics because it did happen…
