That's cool. Do you still have the car?

I'm trying to show that this swap can be done on a budget and how many thousands of dollars can be saved by doing the work yourself...… lot's of time has been spent going through others threads to determine exactly what I need.

I'm thinking somewhere around the middle of April I should have the swap completed. I haven't started yet. My plan is to drive the car up until the day before the swap, and have it knocked out in a few days. I could certainly pull it off sooner but I need to kick my Vette out of the shop..... and I'm not going to let it sit outside in the rain.

I've decided rather than having O2 sensor bungs added to the manifolds, I am going to have bungs installed in the down pipes before the cats...… just like the CLK I pulled the manifolds from.

I was able to pull the fan and upper radiator hose/s, but the shroud was broken and they cut the lower hose to drain the coolant. As a bonus, I grabbed the front and rear red bumper covers from a NA Miata. I have been looking for a set of red covers for over a year. Both are OEM parts too which is great!!

Good day at the wrecking yard!!
