ENGINE SWAP!!
Ok, so I have saved this until I was all finished up. Didnt want to jinx myself with premature pics! LOL!!
So here it is!! I bought Daves engine and tranny out of his wrecked 2003 Tib and swapped it in my Tib! The motor is fully built and we are getting ready to get some great tunes on 91 octane and eventually making the swap to E85! Very excited to show you guys this! It was my first engine swap and so far, its gone great!
Here are pics of my old engine still in the car.
Now.....No more high compression!!! Hell, at this point, I have NO compression! LOL!
Here comes the "Beast"!!!!
Both engines out. I swapped all the old sensors I was using since the Haltech is calibrated to the older sensors. Everything swapped no problem. Ended up swapping my old valve cover as well. What can I say, I'm nostalgic! I liked my Beta I look!!
My "crew" helping me out. Thanks guys! (Dave, Colin, Damon, OJ, Dennis)
I will try to keep this updated. No dynos yet, we are still dialing things in on the street. Once a dyno happens, I will let everyone know and post up some charts for your enjoyment!!
