Re: Engine/tranny swap..
Drove it for a couple hours, and it died.. Motor just shut off...
I got a defective COIL... lmao
Replaced, back in business.. Got the new idler arm bushing installed..Also replaced the cheap bearings that came with the brake kit with some good ones.. It's so solid and quiet.. Brought it to the car wash to let them polish it up.. I love this car wash... Only in Newport Beach..lol The front row they are drying are Mercedes, Ferrari, Jaguar, and Porsche.. And they all want to polish the Comet..
Pics when I get home.. I know this isn't Twitter, but I am having so much fun with this car again.. Friday for alignment, then I think I will go to Coronado for the speed festival at the NAS this weekend..

Re: Engine/tranny swap..
I get the "how much?" question a lot..
I don't answer directly, but I will sometimes say "make me a serious offer" just to see what they will come up with..
I'm worried someone is going to offer like $30k some day and I'm almost going to have to take it..lol
