Finished the 2.5L swap this past saturday. No pics yet.. I was way to tired smile I didn't take the trany out with the motor and had a hell of a time trying to line up the new clutch. I finally found a store with an alignment tool and it went in real easy after that.

Anyways.. It is running great. No hesitation, no vibration, no backfires... BTW - I think some of my vibrations was coming from my clutch bearing. I might be wrong, but that baby was shot...

Oh ya.. It started first crank!! I was shocked beyond belief.

I have better low-end torque, but not high-end speed. I expect to get better high-end once the engine breaks in.

Question: I almost picked up a throttle body spacer this weekend as well, but thought I would ask everyones opinion on it first.. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
