MarkGT has a '94 3000GT base model. The engine is in bad condition so he decided on a VR4 Twin Turbo swap. He brought his car up to me (Phoenix Tuning, http://www.phoenixtuning.com ) and had a VR4 clip shipped up here, and today I pulled the engine out. Here are some pics for you guys.
The clip:  Everything disconnected...  The growing pile of parts...  It's a tight fit!    Out it comes...     Now I just need to do it all over again with the car, and this install this baby!
