Hey guys,

Ive been deciding between V8 engines and was reffered to the VH motor! Its just what I want and decently affordable compared to the LS1. My goal is to have the motor running like a charm with a custom manifold and electric exhaust dumps, otherwise stock and reliable. Im really looking forward to the fall when i can put the car away and work on it, in the mean time im here to source all the stuff for the big winter transplant. For now im still finishing the body and interior. Enjoy!

Slick convertible. Good luck with the swap, it's worth it!

WTF happened to the front end of the red S13? It looks good from every angle except the front. You must love the smell of fiberglass in the morning based on all the glass work in your cars!

You came to the right spot for info on the swap, there is lots of info and very friendly members here.

Cheers

I modified the fiberglass bumper extensively and welded the hood eyelids and ended up with 1/2 ferrari :-)

Parking guys left me a nice ticket with everything saying N/A or unknown but my plate number and make saying "ferrari" I had quite a laugh. Heres a better shot of whats upfront :-)
