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..... Before....... ![]() During....... ![]() Commence the pictures..... - Matthew Terranova |

Im not talking about internals.
Im talking about all the oil seals and gaskets that tend to leak like crazy on these motors. Along with new timing belt, water pump, termostat, etc... Do all that now, or you'll regret it later on. Those manifolds are considered to be pretty much pure junk. They have a tendency to crack and they generate way too much engine bay heat. Stick with the oem manifold, its very efficient and is even used on every high hp 3sgte's. QUOTE 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....
