Almost three years ago I managed to have my son's 7th grade science teacher aprove an engine swap as an acredited "internal combustion engine" project. we photographed the entire procedure and attached the pictures to poster board to display at the school with all the other projects. The teacher was skeptical to say the least that we actually did any of this work (in just three weeks) from just the photos.
So I gave my son the nasty old intake manifold to bring in and abandon it in school. The teacher wanted to see the car so I drove it to school without hood and exhaust for show and tell. He got an "A" on the project.
He has little interest in this car and would like an El Camino. Sadly he would rather play video games than get dirty working on equipment. His older sisters were good for a car wash now and then.
