if the guy has the engine wire harness take that too. you may need a few things off it to put on your harness. or just use it.

Thing is basically all wired up ready to drop in. And fast compared to the hunk of steal that been sitting in my garage for the last 2 months. I'm getting depressed every time I open the garage door.

If the cops pull out, I'll just hold the badge out the window and keep driving, see how that works for me, lol. At least I have an EZPASS to get thru the tolls a little faster. Anyone know estimated weight on the engine and trans together?

Trying to figure that out. That is obviously my first and best option. Also trying to figure if I can fall back on my super cool mini van. Pull the seats and tarp it? Figure if I put 5 grown men in back that would be about 700-800 lbs so.... Would get better gas mileage, got the ezpass all registered for it already and I wouldnt have to feel bad about putting miles on someone elses vehicle and possibly using a day of their time.

try to keep the weight over the back wheels. or to the front of them some. you'll see how it sits when its dropped in if your happy.


all i can think of when people say they are putting a new engine in the car is Steven Write's HBO special from back in the day.

at one point he says

I play the harmonica. The only way I can play is if I get my car going really fast, and stick it out the window.

1/2 hour later he comes out with this.

I put a new engine in my car, but forgot to take the old one out. Now my car goes 500 miles per hour. The harmonica sounds *amazing*

Thats hilarious. Well, road trip in the odyssey it is! I cant wait to get my prix runnin again. Went out and sat in it for a minute today. About another two weeks, should be going!

Road trip to inspect and possibly purchase the engine, set up for this Sunday. Getting anxious.

Joking, joking. Drove it straight through from Milwaukee, WI to Baltimore, MD and back last month. Hence the need for ezpass. Damn toll roads.
