I've done an engine & auto swap from one Hj pano into a Hz pano, running & all in 15mins flat with only 1 mate helping lol. Would have been funny to watch, we were flying thru it. Helps that the kingswoods have a removable nose cone & rad support, makes the swaping so easy... Cheers ToranaGuy

my XD had a single mil-spec bulkhead connector - unscrewed it, disconnect exhaust fuel and throttle and pull engine. Id pre-wired the 5.8 so it was ready to go.
All the time was in prep/paint on the bay. Miss that car! http://s482.photobucket.com/albums/rr190/av48bb/XDGhia/ Engine bay is pic 3

if i had the money and the parts ready to go i could do it fast also but there is a few more important things that i have to pay for at the moment.. like bills
 on other things i found a rough spot in the bay im not happy with, so im going to give it a light sand then clear the whole bay which will fix the issue. i was also thinking some green pearl that i have here. it would make the bay really stand out and tie in the green from the rest of the car.. thoughts? |

ok a sneak peak of what i have been up to the last few nights then...
RCA audio and video input, USB charge only ports 1000mA each (suitable for iphone and HTC) the car will have 4 cameras mounted around the place for recording purposes so i can make youtube videos. so with this i have mounted 4 switches in the console also. as it will only be a weekender i dont really need to worry about space in there.  i also went on a cruise with the car club on the weekend and had some pro shots done. here is 2 sample images.

ok time for an update since i have something worthy of posting.
bought a J3 and tuner chip from TI Performance, metal AU head gasket, Valve springs from Turbo Logic Racing, silicon joiners, head bolts and a few other bits and pieces... what does this mean? its FINALLY getting built and put in. i have a mate going to do a tune on the car so it can be taken around the block without blowing up, then once i see all is safe on the car it will return to the garage until a proper tune can be done. brake lines except the drivers front have been put in. wiring is pretty much completed now, just a few small things to change. my current daily (DA LTD) is getting de-rego'd tomorrow and my new daily (EF GLi Classic) will be put on the road. due to expanding family it was decided the DA had to go due to rust/safety. The festiva was also sold due to size issues. ETA on motor built to go into the car 2 weeks, actually getting it into the car a little longer due to waiting on gearbox seals and lending hands only things left to get are injectors (have some lined up but waiting to hear when i can get them) and a 3" cat. i believe thats all i need now. the new daily  valve springs  i also had a play around with a factory uncut bumper as i have to lift the intercooler higher due to the 3" piping as before the 2.5 JUST fit.
