    I would be willing to bet he is doing those last minute items that pop up like power steering hook up,tranny lines,hooking up electrical,hooking up exhaust to headers, speedo hook up, driveline, the list seems to go on and on nothing really hard to do just a lot of little things.

    Just changing the motor is the easy part. But I am willing to bet he will get ur done in time :drive:
