You're invited to... The Phoenix Tuning 24-hour Engine Swap EVENT Options

[Dr_Tweak]

I was out in the shop today and I had this idea. I thought it might be cool....

I was thinking of having some people come up, someone with a good video camera and editing skills, and doing a monster garage-style engine swap race. Basically a 24 hour straight out engine swap, like start at 7 am and it has to be done by 7 am the next day. I'm thinking something like a 3SGTE swap into an ST, including all the wiring, front mount intercooler, EVERYTHING, in 24 hours straight. Maybe have a bunch of people up to hang out and goof off, whatever.

Then have someone edit the video, speed up parts of it, do some voice-over, and then put it out there on the internet.

Thoughts?

PS: This won't happen until late next year at the earliest.

i have not seen this mentioned yet . . .

who would pay for the engines?

also...it should be more than a 24hr competition . . . you want to do it right and not screw up . . . so i'd make it longer than 24hrs . . .

. . . i was thinking, someone like the speed channel might like doing a documentary on this? . . . they do like this kinda stuff . . . (building competitions) . . .
