okay so finally I have my motor in, it was a serious pain in the ass, when you don't have an engine hoist it seriously sucks, so I had the motor complete and ready to put in, had a hoist borrowed for a day and was placing it in but it didn't get there because the crank bolt kept hitting the frame and getting stuck. well it was late and had to return the hoist, next day tore the motor apart and slide the motor in underneath the car and put the head on which sucked horribly, had it wired up and bolted down, and welp the dam oil supply line wouldn't hook backup for some reason seemed like it was bent or something, and the timing belt would not install correctly kept ending up sticking out a little so I'm pretty sure it's a bolt or some stupid shit like that but once the timing belt is installed I can fire it up and see how this bad boy runs. can't wait till after the motor is broken in.
 
complications aren't the half of it, trust me this is nothing compared to the rebuild I did on my 1g OMG...

I live in port arthur home of u.g.k and many others it's about a hour away from houston.

I saw a guy do a six bolt swap in half the time it takes me to do one by lifting the car off and onto the motor. He could have pulled off the center members but it was interesting to observe on a 2g.

It isnt 'what is UGK?' its WHO is UGK? ROFL
