Is the Vivid car done? 50k is ridiculous. No way I would spend that much on a swap.

I believe it's close. Of course the 50k includes transmission, bell housing, BBK, etc., etc.

This is turning out to be a great thread, I never knew there were that many swapped 8's! Keep them coming. Angel, why did you post this thread in this section and not the major horsepower upgrades section?

Because it's a picture thread and belongs in the picture gallery? That's how all of the other forums I'm on would handle this thread as well.


^FYI: Not being a smart ***.

Most of the guys have their own build threads with the whole story and what not. My idea was to gather pics of as many swaps as we have on the forum and make it a thread full of eye candy. Thats why i posted here. And i think is coming out great. 9krpmrx8 is doing a hell of a job posting pics.. thanks man.
