Once again. Today, I couldn't get a hold of the guy, and my friend had surgery on his finger today. So my car is stuck at my friends work. I now have all the fittings I need, oil, coolant, ect. All I need to do is plug the wiring harness in, fill it with oil and coolant, and bleed the clutch, and drive it. However I can't do that because its in one of the bays at my friends work!!! 
Maybe its just not meant to be...

Seriously, after we got Dan's motor in the car it was only 2 hours max before everything else was connected. I can assure you Dan's turbo mounting has more involved than a supercharged car.

Well it didn't get running. I'm sure with Dan's car, there was more than one person working on it. Where as in my case, everyone gives me **** about not having my car done, yet when its time to get it done, no one lifts a damn finger to help at all. So I spent the day working on it alone, obviously it didn't get done.

You would if you got 3 hours of sleep the night before, got 5 hours before that, and had a splitting headache. Towards the end, my headache was so bad, I was squinting from the pain. So I just said **** this. However it is nice getting under the car, I have like 25 sq ft of **** carpeting that my neighbor gave me, so its uber comfortable under the car
I mean my engine build was more extensive than yours. Seriously, I doubt you had you crank fully machined, and got everything cryo frozen including your full titanium valvetrain. You might have done other ****... but that don't count

i'd come out and help cam, but i'm a bit far now. i love working on these cars. and yah by yourself sucks, especially with getting the motor in to the car. me and 1 other guy got mine installed in about 4 hours. had we had one more person to help it would have gone much faster.
