Finally got all the parts I needed to do a Vtak!!!! swap. Here's some progress pics from tonight. Im gonna be working on it all week after work, so keep looking back for updates. So far, Ive worked about an hour or so, taking my sweet little time. :lol: Im going to be putting in a new timing belt, and water pump as well. Im at 126,000 miles, and still on the stockers. :shock: Tomorrow night, the y7 head will be off, and hoping to remove the timing belt, and water pump. :thumbs up

Between the block and tranny? Yea, I THINK so. We'll see tomorrow night when I pull the head off. Some of it is a shadow from the flash, but ALOT of it is oil.

Yep. :D

Just using new stock bolts for now. Once I start boosting, Ill get ARP studs. No sense in using them now, w/a basically stock motor.
