I will keep this thread updated. As I said before, I have Feb 10th to the 14th off work, so that's 9 days total. I'm imagining I will have the V6 out and the V8 in, in 8 - 10 hours or so. I'll spend a day or so on the wiring (minimal wiring with the CL500 harness), electric fan install, and then I will finish up the exhaust and top off the fluids as best as I can.

My ECU is heading down to Josh on the 8th, he will have it for 2 days, and then back to me in another day or two after he ships.

The thing that is kind of killing me about this swap is the fact that the V6 engine in this car runs like a sewing machine.... it has become my daily driver for my 70 mile commute everyday. I imagine after the swap..... I will forget all about the V6 though.
