    Update 1/22/2009 - More pictures can be viewed at my Project Web Gallery! Click here!

    I'm going to eventually have 3 threads when the entire swap is done. One for the build up (this thread), one for the v6 removal, and one for the v8 installation.

    BIG THANKS to Dan - mcssmostwanted - for meeting me at work and helping with getting all this home. A buddy of mine from work also borrowed his dad's F-150 to help transport because we couldn't fit everything in the Dakota and Jimmy. I still can't get over how much I walked away with for $1,000.

    First thing I did was go buy an engine hoist from Murrays -- it was on sale for $129 and I figured between getting the engine out of the car, getting the v6 out of the car, and then putting the v8 back in, I don't know how long I'm going to take with this project so I just bought the engine hoist and will sell it afterwards.

              Haha yeah, I'm still in shock at what a great deal I got. I can't get over how much I walked away with for 1 grand. I'm thinking I could easily sell all the extra parts and make up atleast $500-$600 off the extra stuff.
