Talking dropping the 12a back in

almost got the motor back in! still working on a few things: cables, radiator, fan, shrould, battery, and cables. will have to wait though...it's raining pretty bad outside. can't wait to fire her up!(hopefully on the first try) but things never go as planned. keep your fingers crossed for me. phins up, vic

Nice! I'd like to have a new motor in my car. I'd like to have a new car period, like one of those mustangs I keep hearing about, never seen one though, must not be a lot around

You have anything done to the motor? Porting or anything?
