I guess its time to post an update..
the engine is in the car and i didnt get any work done on it today cause we had some family come over and we had a hardcore ping pong tournament. but here are some pics of the engine in the car.

and i bought a set of agx's with intrax springs off here today. so i will have something decent on my car untill i build my koni setup that im wanting to build
koni setup will be:
koni 8610 race inserts
custom strut housings
GC coilover sleeves
some type of camber plates.
