Big Bird's transplant. Take 2
Hope you guys dont mind but the other thread is getting too long (2yrs old) and a lot of custom changes being done. Good news is this time its almost complete. I came from Scargo today and I personally took more detailed pictures of the motor's progress
3.8 twin plug twin turbo














I was honestly stunned to see how nice it looks and a crazy thought came to my mind. I thought of not installing it and just to enjoy it in my living room like a work of art.
