Swap was done until i drove it up the street and it spun a bearing due to no oil pressure. ( had no gauge ) rookie mistake. I seen this as a chance to have a brand new engine and chance to learn how to rebuild a engine for the first time. SO we did a stock rebuild on it including a brand new crank, and did some upgrades while inside.
Melling high pressure oil pump, ls7 lifters, ARP rod bolts, LS2 timing chain.
Didn't end up getting many pics of the process.
AND A STACK OIL PRESSURE GAUGE so ill never make the same mistake

Once again its done, runs great, oil pressure is always good... still making little tweaks.

My friends and I made friends with OMG Drift and got a article done in their online magazine seen here on PG.86

Heres a few shots from the day

Power steering fluid was shooting out of the reservoir when drifting so i went ahead and added a Mishimoto fluid cooler with fan and it works great.
