awesome! very inspirational build, guys!! i'm wanting to go the LS route, but I still learned a few things from your post, so thanks for that!

now the most important question...how much fun is it to drive?!

Videos soon, need to dial a few things in better.

Power isn't as much as you'd expect right now, but once its ready for a dyno I'll let you know!

Thanks everyone!

I'm glad the car is "complete" but I can't wait to make changes to make it more fun to drive.

Thanks guys, got a few videos last night. Nothing crazy just some footage of the car in it's current state.

I have collected everything for a manual trans and as soon as I clear a few projects from my garage i'll get it done.

We plan to take the car to h2o weekend with the swap complete and really have some fun!

Always been a fan, since the PT days. You still have the red car? Love it.

Great read, goes to show that this is about so much more than just the car itself!
