Well I wouldn't do it for free but I could do it haha. Sure you could help, bring the beers. Yes subframe gets dropped. I have access to a hoist. That's how I've changed a clutch and 3 motor swaps in my car. **** that sounds bad lol.

Yup a day swap. I got a wicked tune from chevycobaltss3 on here. The car ripped. Till it blew out a sleeve due to the mad timing he put in it midrange lol. I was just learning hpt back then. If I only knew what I know now. 2nd motor I bought a builtish motor from a member on here. Wasn't built properly and blew 700k from home getting tuned by Infraredline in Bismarck, ND. That was fun getting home. 3rd motor was a stock long block I bought from a local for cheap just so my car wasn't sitting broken and my meth injection failed and busted a ring land. And now here I am with a Gen 3 turbo swapped lsj.

We tried to make sure his whole week wasn't ruined! I don't think you bought a drink all night Then the next night we went out racing and Cody let him drive his 476whp LNF and beat the **** out of it. We can blame that for making him swap to turbo lol!

Ya you guys made the absolute best of a bad situation. Can't thank you guys enough for that. I only bought one round of shots all night haha. Asked for a round of Burt Renolds. They girls had no clue what I was talking about lol. Had to tell her how I make it.

The feeling of boost coming on at 50mph and having to two hand the steering wheel because I was all over the road made me swap

That was a pretty good week, despite your car telling us to screw off. Pretty soon it will be time to do it all again, but with some car action on your end!

Its so awesome. SO tight compared to the F35. While in gear you can not really wiggle the shifter at all, and it feels so solid going into gear. Almost like you can feel it click into the gate like on the old VR-4's with the getrag trans. The throw is maybe a little bit shorter than the F35, but the shifter is way different so it could just be the feel. Completely different linkage system on the trans though, whether its better or worse. The gearing isn't a whole hell of a lot shorter than the 4.05 F35, but it is a little tighter. I really enjoy driving the car with the new setup.

USPS . It's hit and miss when usps, most if the time they don't charge, sometimes they do. But it usually depends if the part was made in the states or not. Like tires. If they are made in the states u don't pay duty, if not u do

I always used to get away duty free when getting stuff shipped usps. But they've become hard asses around the last year. I buy a TON of **** (obviously) haha and anything worth any sort of decent value I've been charged duties on over the past year. Even from residential addresses. It's gay.
