saw that ^

and not that much ****, just a few narrow minded keyboard warriors. don't let it getcha down, its a job well done.
I also like the one guy who said the front dress weighs as much as an LSx, 5.0 is actually lighter than even an aluminum LS with dress; however LS is a better motor.
showed this to a buddy looking at an E36 shell, he's stoked on a 5.0 swap now lol

I saw the Mayday garage re-post on my facebook wall about this car and I had to re-check the build thread. Dude, I most definitely want to see this thing in person, shit even get a ride in it

Congrats on getting this project done with so much attention to detail, mad props!

Yeah, I actually enjoyed the negative comments. The build makes me super happy, so no worries what others think. Seems like most people love the build and I've also been getting a lot of positive reactions. The LS is definitely a better motor, but this swap was immensely cheaper and still has some legit power potential.

Yeah, now that I'm done building it, I'm just trying to get out there to drive and show it off. I bet you'll see me out and about soon.

Here's the pics from Mayday Garage:

Do you happen to have the length of the trans from the bellhousing to the shifter assembly? My diesel has a knock, and a 302 + T5 sounds appetizing.

Ughhh. Love this thing man keep up the good work.

[TeckniX]

That thing just needs a turbo and you'll be all goood

[HUNTERMILLS]

I bet this thing is so damn fun to drive. Really awesome what you did and the sound this thing makes is the tits.

Hey how do you like that E-brake placement? I have been thinking of doing mine in a similar spot.

I've been fallowing your thread since the beginning. I am amazed you stuck with it and have gone so far with the build, it's epic. I think the 5.0 is an awesome addition to this chassis, even though the LSX is a better motor, ain't nothing wrong with a 5.0.

Over a year with no update=(

Sorry. Don't really get on forums anymore but would like to keep the SW fam updated.

Car is doing great! Probably have 7k+ miles on swap. I try to drive it whenever the weather is nice.

Biggest additions have been felony form over fenders and my first wrap job in Lambo Telesto grey.

Glad you saw my instagram comment=) Car is looking great. How much did the wrap run you? I'm thinking of wrapping my daily coupe in spring

Thanks! It was probably less than $500 all in. It's pretty tough until you get the hang of it, but then not too bad.

Wrap and overs look great, mind sharing where you ordered the vinyl from? I may be picking up a new car and instead of paint im gonna try and wrap it if I can.
