Umm, most of the stuff came in Friday afternoon, but we had to work on Scott's car, and swapping all the stuff form Nick's car to Nate's.

That went on till almost midnight, and then they got slammed with stuff Saturday and coudn't touch it. Joe may work on it today to button up the motor, but it won't be getting dropped in until tomorrow at the earliest, and mebbe Wednesday if Nate puts the motor back together tomorrow. We were waiting on the heads, since the original heads we were going to use were not EJ25 heads as suspected, but EJ20s, and while it would have dropped compression to turbo-friendly levels, the bottom end would still be weak, and I have not the resources to do a turbo kit as well (plus I have to smog in a few months).
It's got all new accessories; new oil pump, new water pump, belts, all the hoses, new valves, all seals, everything, so it just took a while to get ahold of a couple things. Subaru didn't have replacements for a couple hoses, and told Joe to cut up a heater hose, lol.

So it's coming, and prognosis is could; shjould know more this afternoon.

Then I'll have Nate fab the exhaust in early November, get it on the dyno, and see what it does after the motor's broken in a bit.
