SO..... I was cleaning out the computer today with the website down.... and stumbled across an old picture of my engine bay before my swap...... SO.... I figured all us guys with the swaps can post some before the swap pics and after the swap pics. You know just to show our mods before we did it big and revamped the engine bay.... This goes for the 5sfte and 7afte guys too......

Here is my engine bay before the swap.....

Um do you mean like internals and such? As far as that goes.... nothing right now... I just got a equal length exhaust manifold so I might switch that out while it is off the beast... I just plain dont have the money to finish the swap AND put bad ass stuff in there right now... EVENTUALLY, I would like to do cams and cam gears, pistons and such like that... I dont know much about what cams and pistons would be best, so I have left that alone for right now. What cams and pistons would be best. I was looking into the HKS 272 or something like that, but I dont know what lift ratio and all that means and I would like to understand that before I throw money at something that isnt good for me. I feel you should never buy a part just because you can, I feel you should fully understand WHY you should get the part before you purchase it....

EDIT:

And yes 3 years.... how I survived I do not know.... It was horrible without the car
