I see that the swap is done…just want to see some pics! Seems like a ton of work is in this, and as an outsider it’s difficult to understand all that was involved other than you started with a donor, stripped it, put an LS in it…🙂

LOL yeah I understand. However the elitist photographer involved with this escapade posts whatever he posts. We are heading back out to finish up some work in a few hours I will see if I can convince him to get some shots of the motor. Looks like balls right now though. ☹

It is like that dynamat stuff they sell at car audio places. I give the guy credit he for sure spent a good amount of time and money on it it just isn’t my bag.

The backing is like fucking tar.

Actually, it is tar. It’s some sort of asphalt-based sound deadener. Fail.
