Yeah, the engine in BM bolted straight in, too (ie: the engine mounts lined up)... it was everything else that needed to be changed to accommodate it!!

Our transmission problems were minor. No real fabrication was necessary beyond what was expected (make a spacer, MAYBE use TOB spacer(s), and MAYBE modify the cross member). It turns out that we had to shave sopme material off the spacer (much more desireable than finding out it wasn't thick enough), and we needed three 0.187 spacers for the TOB (I got five just in case), and we had to drill new mounting holes in the crossmember. All of those things were resolved in a four-hour period.
We've measured for the driveshaft, and discovered that instead of having to make a whole new one, we can have my existing aluminum one shorted to an appropriate length.
We'll also be modifying the passenger side header so that it clears the bell housing (again, this was expected). It'll take an hour to "fix", and involves heating it up with a torch and using a ballpeen hammer to create a small dent at the point of contact with the bellhousing.
There have been no significant engineering challenges (and to date, no real surprises), and everything so far has generally "just bolted up". I've been planning this swap for over a year, and have gone through all of the steps in my mind probably a thousand times. In the words of one of the guys in the shop, this swap has been easier than any other swap he's ever undertaken (and he's done dozens of swaps).

What a piece of cr.. spyware is. I had a particular nasty one this weekend. "NextCoup".
it installs, it registers, it copies files, puts itself in the Chrome exentions, etc...
I had to run Spybot, unintall in Programs&Features, remove manually from disc, delete all occurances in the registry, uninstall Chrome and finally reinstall Chrome to get rid of it.
The uninstall is also very, very low, because it gives a popup:
Do you want to uninstall (large letters). Then a bunch of text and in that text: "Press Yes to uninstall and install another interesting program to help you, ...bla bla bla, click No to just uninstall, press Cancel to cancel the uninstall".
I mean I'm pretty good at this stuff (compared to the average user) and even I had trouble getting rid of it.
They should find out whoever develops this stuff, arrest them and execute them.

I watched a good Ted talk on this by Mike Hypponen[^] (I think that's the one, but would advise checking out all of his stuff), apparantly a lot of this stuff is written by professional devs in places like Russia/Asia who are hired by criminal gangs and paid a salary etc to sit and code malware all day!
Scary stuff!

This is the one I was talking about[^]

That's the 800 lb gorilla (364kg) in the room that no one wants to mention. The identity theft and malware has gone to organized crime. It's just so easy. THE US banks, etc just don't give a damn unless (a) a penetration is made public and (b) it exceeds their fraud budget.
To make matters worse, I'm convinced that the US feds are involved as well.

Hello V.
That stuff can be quite annoying.
I haven't heard about "NextCoup" before. How did you find out or tracked it?

I find the Windows Sysinternals program 'AutoRuns[^]' invaluable for getting rid of those pesky, hard to reach malwares.
Make sure to right-click and 'Run as Administrator' and be careful what you delete in there...it takes a while to gain insight into what should be there and what shouldn't.

Never seen this before, awesome tool

There are some other nifty utilities in there as well like Network Monitor, File Monitor, Process Monitor, etc....I use AutoRuns the most though.
SysInternals used to be independent...Microsoft bought them a while back.

Why not?
Consider:
The life you are born with is yours and yours alone, and you don't know how many hours of life you have. You invest the hours of your life to provide for yourself and others, to buy and to have things which make your life more enjoyable. Then along comes some perfect a**hole stranger to whom you have never caused any harm, but who installs a piece of malware on one of your PCs to make your life miserable. To eliminate this problem, you have invest countless more hours of your life purging it from your machine, hours you can never replace.
Anyone who will deprive you of part of your life has no respect for your life, and therefore can be assumed to be willing to steal all of your life. That person is a murderer, and you have no moral obligation to respect his desire to remain breathing. Execution is clearly deserved, and every victim has the inherent right to perform that duty on behalf of all mankind. Since such creatures are clearly subhuman, there is no need to be merciful, or swift in performing the execution.

I'm up early, I need to format a floating point to text, I write:
wsprintf(... blah....);
Does NOT work, will not process floats, 
add coffee, still no joy. Post a quick question, CPallini slaps me upside the head, "Idiot, use swprintf."  Add more coffee.
What in God's name would allow MS to think of coding like this?

Take heart, that's not too bad. Compared to my latest code FUBAR, having to do a VB.NET which Griff and regulars know is my pet hate I have this Jem
If ((Val(Smallest) * 1000) < QCLow) Or (Val(Smallest) > QCH) Then
I'm wondering why it's letting higher values past. Think, apply ![Java | [Coffee]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif) ask Question in Quick Answers suddenly realise I am not doing the conversion on the upper value properly to be
If ((Val(Smallest) * 1000) < QCL) Or ((Val(Smallest) * 1000) > QCH) Then
Add in that multiply it starts working!  how to delete the question before a grown up see's it...
