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.

No kidding, eh?

Well I think it's cool that there's so much interest. I ran it by my wife today (who's the realist among us), and she actually thought it would be a good idea.

Anyway, I think a lot of you missed the original point. The idea is for Phoenix Tuning to do a swap in 24 hours. I would need someone to bring their car up for the swap, to pay for the parts and labor (yes, $500 of MY LABOR), someone to run a good video camera, and several people to fool around and make it more fun. At least, that was the ORIGINAL idea.

This whole idea of having a competition is pretty cool too though. I would be interested in doing it, but it would take a lot more planning, and we would need a larger shop than mine, I think.

Let's take this one step at a time though. Who has a video camera and knows how to run it?
