pulled in the Max to begin the Motor/Tranny Swap. We're swapping in a built VQ30DE motor, and putting in a different turbo. Hopefully it will be done in 1 week. so far we've dropped the turbo, valvebody, drained all fluids and removed the bumper. Still gotta locate an LSD trans, if cant find one in time, i guess im gonna have to order a brand new one....
