i will leave the car as is...cause i have other financial thingies to worry about. the car is good enough as it is right now. i will worry about a 4 valve swap later. i will also post pictures tomorrow when the sun is shining. it has a Cervini ram air hood that is functional.

I don't think I've ever actually seen an sn95 with either a functional or non-functional shaker...I'm interested.

it's not a shaker, it's a ram air hood. it has air ducts in the hood that go straight to the intake, ramming the air down the Plenum.

the scoops are nice and big, looks great.

well that's what i thought at first too. because he already had a white 98 v6 didn't he?. so if he did a swap and it took him 4 hours, why is it a blue 98 gt?( a very nice looking one)

He traded the white sixer in. It says it in his first post. And it probably took him 4 hours to get through the papers and whatnot. When I bought my car it took a little over 4 hours as well.

Not really. You've just got to have the people and tools in place. I forget what the record is, but if I remember correctly it's something like an hour and a half.

great work. Now swap that 4.6 for a 5.4 and experience the tq. it's the same difference in feel as the v6-v8 swap.
