No offence taken. When i did my engine conversion in my old silvia, it took me 1 and a half days to have all the mechanical parts swapped out and in. Then another 6 days to figure out the wiring. lol. So i'm well aware of my weaknesses.
As for the book, that sounds awesome. Just describing it might go over my head, but if i have a diagram to go off i'm perfectly capable. I'll PM you my e-mail.
Cheers
