This did include the tranny attached. I swapped in a HD tranny with it. The A/C compressor and oil filter had to be off for clearance reasons. The actual in and out movements aren't that bad. It's the unhooking and hooking up of parts that is so time consuming.

And it isn't done right unless you: 1. spent more than you thought it would cost, 2. took longer to finish than you realized, 3. broke a couple of bolts and skinned some knuckles, 4. had to make a few trips to the parts store, and 5. have parts left over that you can't identify, but the car runs anyway..

It's alive! I got sick of waiting, with only the crossover and rear header in (no collector), filled with coolant, but no drive belt (I got the wrong size) I hooked it up and hit the key. My god what a beautiful sound. XP cam with straight pipes (essentially), sound like a loud V8.
I only let it run for a few seconds due to the lack of waterpump/alternator turning, but man is that a boost to finish this project.

Nice!
I wonder how close all you top-swapped people are to out-running your MAF sensor (11,500hz max). Anyone scan for that?

My MAF peaked at 9,600 Hz... so I still have quite a ways to until it tops out at 11,500 Hz
so, whatever happened to ordonez? I think he fell off the face of the earth

I might get a vid with my camera Monday, if I get my collector and glasspack I'm using as a resonator installed. It's still got 87 octane in the tank as well, so I'll have to remedy that soon.
