heart transplant...

here goes. tonight starts the beginning to the end of my project started last august. thought i would keep those that had been following posted. as we speak, my new engine is sitting in the trunk of my car out in the parking lot. after work, i drive over to the shop and get it ready for the swap tomorrow.
a little history, i have a 90 900s. my pursuance of performance ended with modification to the intake and exhaust. instead of going with head work, i decided to buy a used engine and build it up to a turbo. rebuilt the entire bottom end (new pistons, bored block, balanced crank, con rods, main pulley, and flywheel, lightened fylwheel, new bearing, etc.), head work done (rebuild along with port/polish and comp valve grind). new turbo from tec. so, it's more expensive than i though it would be, but i saved $1k's doing it myself (except for the machine work).
anyway, tonight, the local shop is giving me some weekend space and assistance. so, easy things, hood, fluids, wiring, labeling, etc. to be done tonight. heart removal to occur tomorrow starting at 0700.
once in, i'll have to grandma it around for awhile (disconnected apc, base boost) so i won't be able to attest to true performance gains, yet... but i'll keep you all posted.
