Thanks!

Thanks! I can’t wait to have it home!!

Hey guys. Here are a few update pics. I’m picking the car up in a week and a half or so!

Hey guys. Sorry I haven’t posted in a while. Progress has pretty much stopped at this point. Going very slowly. Frustrating. Here are a few pictures

Thank you for the message. Ya, I agree 100% with you. Crazy to me that an engine builder would install it on the wrong way, to fit a temporary shipping crate, so that it would later have to be switched around….possibly requiring a new gasket….and I’m assuming dumping a bunch of oil out of it, in...

Ok. Thanks a lot. I will tell him that! He said that I can do it when I do the first oil change, but another person on here was saying that he doesn’t think the exhaust will even be able to be hooked up in the location it’s currently in

Ya, I wondered that as well. I’m not exactly sure how they work. Thanks!

That’s what I said the the builder. But he says that bellhousing sticks out to same level as filter. I’ll keep everyone posted. He just said that he turned it and it’s clearing the steering now. Says he doesn’t think its my original part (90 degree adapter, I’m assuming he means). But I don’t...

The builder is saying that he thinks engine builder didn’t reuse the same part as was on it when I pulled the engine. I’m not sure from pictures. It’s hard, when I don’t understand what it’s supposed to look like. He says that if he turns it to face then rear, the bell housing is in the way
