A friend of mine has a motor I might take from him. I was really looking forward to Znationals. If I can get the new motor in time I could probably swap it before then and make the drive. Crossing my fingers.

That's good at least, still lots of work. Are you able to do the swap or do you have to pay a shop?

Figured, lol. Just an engine swap is a little more intense, I know I couldn't tackle that one.

Decided to take the car full racecar. Stripping all of the interior harness down to just the bare track necessities and prep it for a roll cage and paint

Picking up a new motor on Wednesday

Oh my, you have become a full track tard! I think going to the track changes a person's brain chemistry!

Quite the big step but I am pretty excited about it. It's been something I've been pursuing for a while now.

Right on brother, if you are going to do it then do it big. I look forward to your progress and a much better ZDayZ 2017!

He better take care of this motor!

Update. I guess I'll let the photos speak for themselves. Tomorrow should be the day I can get rolling again

The engine bay is painted pearl white. Interior will be painted the same as well after 10pt roll cage and the exterior a nice custom blue metallic.

I have also tucked the engine bay harness just to make servicing easy. Doing a nice bash bar and splitter bar extension for extra support. In just 6 days this is how far me and a buddy have gotten. So much happening at once I can't believe it only took this long. I am constantly making last minute decisions but we are knocking them out like it's nothing. Can't wait to show you guys some more updates.
