Heres some pics of when I dropped in the new engine. I really wish I had taken the time to clean the bay up more but I was in a time pinch and needed to get it done. The car had been in storage for more than a year at this point, uncle sam decided it was time for me to head out for my 3rd all expenses paid vacation to Afghanistan and I really just wanted to get out and enjoy my car.

Little video I made right after I got it running and was still sorting a few things out, did not have the quarterhorse installed yet so it was surging a bit, also was still playing with belt sizes trying to find that sweet spot.

On a side note the old engine ran just fine, but I was starting to get worried about it. 233,000 miles and going strong but with what my plans were I did not trust it to last. I have over 20k on my new setup already.

Well not Sn95 related but my SVO just came out of paint and reassembly! I give props to Wolfes Collision and Auto Center located in New Kensington, PA. They stripped it to metal and did a complete restore on it. I've been pic whoring everywhere. All that is left will be emblem install.

Nice cars. I love SVO's! My dad still has his Merkur XR4Ti and that thing is awesome. I kinda wanna buy it off him but I think I'd rather spend that money on a tranny.

What engine are you wanting to build for the SVO?

Thanks for the compliments guys. I have a spare 2.3 turbo engine for the SVO that I am in the process of building. Its going to get an essy d port head, billet main caps, and a ton of boost. Should be fun.

I have had some requests for a video of my car in action. Here is quite possibly the worst filmed video ever, but it will give you guys an idea of how a KB 5.0 works. Nice thing about autos is the free hand :)

Went out today with the new camera and snapped some pictures. Car still is not lowered but these pictures are much better than my crappy cell phone pics.

SLP resonators are long gone, I had dynomax super turbos welded in place of them. I love the tails though so they stayed. Cops were giving me to much grief :(

I know i have seen this video before on Youtube maybe a few years ago? because i wanted to see a KB on a 5.0. I remember for the shaky cam at the start and you said "hard to film and drive with one hand"

I could be wrong, but i do surf the web A LOT

I am a TROLL!

Nice car BTW
