Nice! I ended up picking one up as well. I'm curious if I should expect any driveability issues (gear chatter, lurching at low-rpm, idle dips, etc)? The engine is otherwise stock.

Also ordered a Toda pan to hopefully help with oil slosh. Got the rest of the parts on order that I want to replace while the motor is on the stand. Hope to have the car running sometime this month!

Finally had time to do this. Took the last two days to make the swap! Prep started Friday morning and the car was all done by Saturday evening.

Easiest valve adjustment, ever.



Pan install prep



Toda vs OEM



ACT Prolite flywheel (using stock disk and pressure plate). The OEM flywheel on these is just flat out ridiculous, drives SO much better with this one.



End of Friday prep: motor, tranny, and subframe ready to come out as a unit



Jump to Saturday morning and it's out! Sammy is the man, without his help this would've taken considerably longer.



So empty. If I had more time, probably would've detailed the engine bay. :P



And we're back!



Happy New Year everyone!
