Well It all started when we have a huge amount of rain here in NY, for a week strait, to make a long story short i suck up water sumhow and ruined my valvetrain, I pulled the stock motor, which had 80k miles on it and purchased an almost brand new Aviator Engine.
Here is before the project started:

I then figured, I am doin all this work might as well put long tube headers on it while it was out, so i got BBK full length headers and other Mods.

I had to rewire the whole engine!!!
Here is the new engine with the new hood in the car:

Over all this swap was a lot of hours (prob around 60) and ended up costing about the price of a procharger kit. But it will all be worth it, i think it will push around 380 fwhp, 345-355 RWHP.
