I really thought setting this up would only take like half an hour or 45 minutes. But to make it work in the very limited space its goin in took longer than I thought. But it turned out pretty slick...

Man, your not kidding. When I first got the motor together I really thought in one or two summers I would be able to get the car out. It's gonna end up being a three or four year project. Ouch. But, I really think I can get it out on the road for some grinding next season.
