<div id="fb-root"></div><script>(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script><div class="fb-video" data-allowfullscreen="1" data-href="/ZFever/videos/vb.296402898295/10153637953723296/?type=1"><div class="fb-xfbml-parse-ignore"><blockquote cite="https://www.facebook.com/ZFever/videos/10153637953723296/"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/ZFever/videos/10153637953723296/"></a><p>Here's the torque in action...</p>Posted by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ZFever">Fever Racing (formerly Z-Fever)</a> on Thursday, July 2, 2015</blockquote></div></div>

Looks like you started that swap back in 2010 and finally got it up and running by 2015. How many hours and thousands of dollars did the final bill come to? It's a good lesson for those Z33 noobs who think swapping engines will be easy.
