engine swap almost complete
its alive. I fired it yesterday and no damn tickin valvetrain. And only about five months after the two month motor warranty expired. but if i could only find the intake boot and the "pcv" x-over tube. I don't remember them havin' legs when I removed them. 
In my defense, I think Bush was still in office when I started this project. and this project started in my shop and then transfered to my brother's shop five miles away. (it's cold in the midwest)
-problems-
it appears the only way to adjust camber is to spin the the upper strut mount in the chassis. that seems a little too simplistic too me. four bolts equals two settings for each caster and camber. Every rig I see on the road has excessive camber problems including mine. I bought a couple of those "cam" bolts for the lower strut to spindle, but they look a little too "spindley" for lack of a better word. worried they might fail. has anybody used these? should I just elongate one hole in the strut, use the stock bolts and save the forty bucks? Also what are the caster, camber, toe in spec's for this rig?
