This is for those who are completing and who have completed your swaps. What do you have left to do on your car before you can "stick a fork in it" and say you are done.

Mine is:

1. recirculate BOV
2. add second magnaflow muffler
3. new tires
4. install skirts and lip
5. clear sidemarkers and tail light mod
6. repaint calipers and hubs
7. do something with my seats

i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.

Time will tell that it is a mistake to replace the F-14 Tomcat with the F-18 Super Hornet as the carriers first line of defense.

It's not a 6GC, but here's what's left to do on my 7

Bolts ons & Porting -
3" dp to remote 3.5" cutout
Reprogram TPS
Remove EGR, ACV, Air Pump
3" TID
Port Internal wastegate
port intake manifold

FUEL - 750cc secondary injectors w/ Rtek 1.7 chip w/ walbro 255

That's all gotta be done in the next 3 weeks before the track opens. Sooner or later I'll go balls out with the big turbo, standalone, streetport, blah blah blah

NASA/SCCA RX-7....currently under the knife

can this include me? although not a 4 turbo,
I have into going, a 20V trueno.
implant was easy, what it needs i'm crying
a look and diagnosis of the doc's great wiring.

So far no spark, but all else is done,
stacks and a header, with suspension as one
so close to running, but time I don't have,
can't even run codes, so the doc can rehash,
the other problem of course is cash... =[

Still needs some wheels tires and paint...
along with an engine that can cause you to faint,
this car will be worth my time, I suppose,
especially once finished, it can finally be sold.
to pay off my bills before they get old.
