That'* pretty slick.
Those swaps always made me wonder how the owner would fix broken parts. I.e., a bad water pump. A repair like that can be tough enough in a car that was meant to have the engine. I can only imagine what it would be like in a car that doesn't have the clearance (between the block and fender pan). Could be lots of work down the road if you had to pull the engine just to change a water pump!

it appears as though he has a decent amount of room on the side that it counts the most...water pump, pulleys, steering pump, belts, etc.

You can see from his bald tires that he has traction issues, but thats obvious anyways. However, I can see by looking at it in the pic that its not stock, it AT LEAST has a smaller pulley and obviously a custom intake. So once it did hook up it should be capable of mid 13'* easy, not to mention I'm pretty sure it is lighter than a Fiero.
Those engine swaps are different cars.

i like it that is one awesome car but damn he has gone through enough motor swaps
