So I'm a couple of days late but ....... Merry Christmas everyone !!

WOW ! I got a chubby ! I started something similar for my 10" sub, but man that looks awesome, just what I was wanting to do. Can't wait to see the finished panels.

I'm hoping for a weekend swap, but maybe not. I picked up a run stand for it and plan to have the wiring harness all done a ready to plug in (hopefully) when I slide it back into the van.

I've heard that those are very good manuals. Check E-bay, you can get one cheap there.

Well, I'm digging in and trying to find as much info as possible to make my swap a weekend project, so I thought I wold post up info here as I find it. I will document the swap and the pre-swap preparations for others to consult. Check this link for Passkey info. http://westersgarage.eidnet.org/pass...

Hey, Kincardine eh?! Yep I have an address there too ! Maybe time to head down to the MTO

Cool. I'm sure I won't have a problem passing as I'm retaining the fuel injection and emissions equipment and will install it as stock. Once I see what it tests out at, I may throw a cam at it.

TIA,
Dave

Hey guys,
At idle, does your timing on the scangauge float around? Mine switches contantly between 16* and 21*. Out on the highway it's steady as a rock at cruise.
