So would he be OK to drive it home? What about me when I drive from your place to Houston, tx? Should be fine right cause the motor will already be used.

Yes, it's a matter of routine for us to put a couple of hours of test-driving in around town, and then the customer drives it 6-12 hours home. Never had a problem. These aren't new engines, they're used. -Doc -------------------- -Dr Tweak, 6GC's resident engine swap wiring expert extraordinaire Click here to see my swaps drtweak@phoenixtuning.com |

There have been a couple of instances of intercooler couplers popping off or whatever, hiccups that tend to manifest themselves after a few days of driving the car. -Doc -------------------- -Dr Tweak, 6GC's resident engine swap wiring expert extraordinaire Click here to see my swaps drtweak@phoenixtuning.com |
