Doesn't look like it Zander :( I still need to finish the rear mounts, exhaust, plumbing, and electrical. Then I need to figure out how to make it run.

It's an off the shelf AFCO here is the link http://www.speedwaymotors.com/AFCO-8010 ... 43554.html there are three different "Scirocco" style ones.

Got the rear mounts done and halfway done with the exhaust. Pretty much all that's left is the plumbing and wiring.

Yeah! Heh. If you didn't have a spare, you would have broken this one, too. That's how it works.

Looking good - will be anxious to see the rolling videos of this one.

So my epic 10 day/night thrash to swap the K20 into the Westy ended in great success...well sort of. It runs but I have a loss of fuel pressure issue that will probably be super easy to fix and I ran out of time to get the wiring so it won't be a fire hazard. I want to give a huge shout to Mario for all the help he gave me holy crap is MS3x confusing compared to MS1, Mario spent most of the day yesterday helping...that was awesome. I also learned that K20's have smart coils and Hall crank sensors who would have thunk it. I can't wait to take it for a spin, that motor revs very freely.
