The goods.........

03 Subaru WRX 64,000 miles

06 Hummer 6.0 engine 21,000 miles

Corvette intake

2002 Camaro SS T-56, harness, computer and everything else

Twin GT-35R Turbos

Magic Stick 4 (yeah yeah i know....not for a turbo car....i dont care!!! lol)

Haven't decided about the rear end

Let the fun begin!!!!

The s2000 isn't his car, he's just helping a friend with that one. Keep up the good work, and unusual swaps you got going.

The LQ4 is an Iron block engine. Why not use an aluminum block to save 80-100 lbs (depending on your source)

Looking good so far. Im glad someone is finally stepping up to finish a WRX swap. We know you'll follow through.
