I know I’m crazy you don’t need to tell me.
I know that I could make way more power with an engine swap but I don’t care
I know this will be expensive thanks for letting me know.

I will post pics of new progress but I recommend that you look up my thread on r3vlimited or just look at the photos on photobucket.

Have fun and I look forward to hearing from you.
