Anybody free to help this Friday? Scott and Patrick are coming over to help with my engine swap so we should be good, but just wondering if anyone else was free or interested.

I just saw where you are. I'm in McKinney so that's quite a drive for you. A friend of mine is also coming so I should be good on the help.

Dang, where's everybody been?



For those wondering, my Z is finally back up and running. The engine swap went along without much difficulty, which was fortunate. There were some minor issues but they were addressed and most of the car is buttoned up. It's been 10, long months but with the help of great friends from this great community, my Z is back on the road and at the races once again! There's a lot of hours, not only mine but those of many others, invested in resurrecting my Z and I gained much experience/knowledge along the way. Big thanks to Scott, Stu, Eric, Pat, and several others for putting in some serious wrench time. Shout out to Jake as well for lending me his tools to even perform the surgery, Jason for advice, and everyone else for the support along the way. Anyway, I'll end with a couple of videos.

This first video is of the first start up right before a lot of the things in the engine bay were even tightened down:

This video shows my Z in action at this past weekend's autox event:
