Here is some footage of a friend of mine getting to experience the car for the first time. 

Build is slowing down for a bit. I have a friend who has worked on this with me the entire way through. He is currently on deployment, and doing a bunch of work while he is unable to be involved would just be a crappy move on my part. I'm planning on doing 180 headers soon, but it'll be a slow process.

One of these things is not like the others...

Notice how no one wanted to park to either side of me?

100% the best car to take to shows lol

Looks like I’m going to be looking at Maserati engines on eBay now ? Sounds so good!

If you do go that route, feel free to hit me up for advice. Hardest part about this swap was simply not having the information needed to pull it off.

Sick build man! Surprised you can get a Ferrari engine for just $3k. That sound alone makes it worth way more than the typical LS swap. Sounds mental, and not much of a weight penalty. Awesome job! ??

Thank you! The engine itself is actually lighter than the original flat 6. The reason the car's weight went up by 60lbs is largely from the steel brackets I made to hold everything together. Once I teach myself to work with aluminum, I might rebuild some of them to bring the weight down. Would love to see it scrape just below 2500 again.
