I love that idea, the problem is im stationed on a military base with no real storage capabilities, which is also the reason i cant swap the engine right away. We have a hobby shop where we can get pretty deep in an engine, but the cost of leaving your car there adds up quick. I can do the smaller stuff, but it'll have to go to a shop for the more in depth parts. I guess its bolt on's for now.
