the car does not run at this time, and needs rewiring.
No friggin' wonder, the car has a GT30/40 on it. When you get the Haltech figured out, it'll spool at about 5000 rpm and make stupid-fast power. Good deal if the body's clean though, the rest of the mods are well chosen.

I just glanced at it... I assumed it had a built EJ25, but that doesn't make the deck any less open.

It looks a whole lot like an EJ22T with sleeves, bored and stroked. But, the other method is indeed to weld in the extra bracing and re-machine the deck. Personally, I wouldn't rust that, plus it's the more difficult/expensive way.

Either way, $5k for a freaking shortblock is retarded.
