THAT IS SO WIERD! I dont think this motor is going to unweld itself. i got it rolling about 5 mph, and then had her pop the clutch, and it Totally locked up the tires all be it was in gravel, but the motor even flexed down in the back of the engine bay when she popped the clutch going back in reverse. i mean it seems to be completely seized.

i want to just start my motor swap right away, but from what I have calculated, it will take me alittle over 2 grand to do it, and i dont have that money right now.

here lemme think outloud, and re-evaluate. maybe its more doable then im thinking.

adapter 450
clutch 200ish
motor 800
wiring 800-1000 (done by the god of all swaps to wire in the stock 2002 wrx ecu OBD2 port gauge cluster if i want and harness)
all fab work 200ish (for exhaust and intercooler plumbing done by me)
cooling system 200 (pieced together from cheap as hell radiator (temp) and good plumbing parts, and fabbed all by me)
misc other unforseen stuff ???
shipping, ect as well ???

Yeah, the swap will be about 3 grand. I think thats going to have to wait till my WRX is sold. thats been a HUGE money pit for me, and I dont have garage, wallet, or sanity room to have 2 big projects at the same time.
