Man on to your second one. Lucky you and your California weather. Snow keeps stopping my plans. The m90 supercharger will be sweet post lots of pics when you do that as I'm interested in doing that once I get going on my swap.

Scuba these motors can be found pretty cheap , i bought a whole wrecked car for $125 , the owner had started to part it out but then needed to get it out from his driveway really quick.
and the engine thats sitting on the engine stand in the above pick was bought for $200 with the complete exhaust and cluster from a Sc400

I tried to order the prerunner adapter today from inchworm and there website says there backorderd for the adapter.. so i called and it looks like 2 months for the adapter.
