May 29, 2004: Engine swap time!
Yup, significant things are happening. The engine destined for the Seven was in my Miata street car. Note the past tense - it took me 70 minutes to pull it out this morning. Hey, I literally wrote the book on this one! Actually, if you've seen my book, you'll see this very same engine going in to my Miata. A couple of hours of hunting down parts that had been scavenged from my "new" engine for the Miata and it's ready to go back in. Once I find the clutch alignment tool, anyhow. We've got a new tech at the shop and he's not sure where to put things back yet.

Last night I also reinstalled the fuel cell and bled the brake system. I've got a nice firm pedal now. Things are starting to get exciting!
