I fired the engine up on the workshop floor, just running aerostart. Sounds nice! The ECU has been rechipped to start without the key. Gave it a pressure wash. I am not working out the serpentine belts as I am not running ac. Wiring was fun!

Go mate. Sorry about your loss. Looking forward to see the progress. Nice little distraction for you and us.

Is there pics of this swap? I am very interested as I have a brand new 3800sc crate engine in the garage. I have been weighing up a new project and undecided if I should do up another NA like i used to have or just get an NC and drive.
When I was young I spent 90% of my money on Fast Cars, Women and Alcohol. I guess I wasted the rest.

Hi Guys, progress has been slow!
My buggy business has been taking up my time, plus I still have to pull out my Jeep motor to do a few minor jobs before selling it.
I have done the engine wiring and fired up the 3.8 on the floor.
Working on it!
Steve
