    my top swap sounds exactly like yours in the video. I'll be watching this thread closely!

    just fired up my top swap last night so i havent had a chance to troubleshoot yet.

    update: swapped in my gt's mass air sensor and IAC, replaced some sketchy vacuum lines and for now...the idle is smooth and no longer sounds like the engine in your you tube video. now to fix the exhaust leaks.....

    Well guys, here is an update.
    I fixed the exhaust leak and the vacuum leak to the best of my knowledge. that cleared up all engine codes except for the o2 sensor code. She was running much better but still had a rough idle, but drivable. Then two days ago, I started her up to take my girl and son to get some Panda express, not even 3 minutes on the road and i hear a LOUD cracking noise. Turns out I somehow sent 2 rods straight through the block. I wasn't even driving her hard. So, Now shes in the shop getting a new block and I'm $3100 poorer.
