My goodness, that thing is beautiful! I want to tongue kiss your engine. Uh, well, not really. Even engines from the factory don't look that new. You remind me of my friend. He made his own sand blaster and also went sandblaster-happy. I thought he would sand blast his wife for a minute there.

black & silver are so good together, what did you stuff into the axel seal??

[don_don]

i hope the tranny fits .....lol......the mounts i have are almost the same as the 2gens.
