Hi,
Little update on the rabbit for you guys.
I’ve just been getting it ready to start up the new engine for the first time since the swap (hopefully this week) I just have to hook up my fuel pump and it should start.banana:
I’ll post another update when I do.
Thanks for looking at my thread.

I’m sure you have already but you did check all your fuses under the hood and in the car right?
When is the last time the car had a thermostat?
If your not sure just put a new fail safe thermostat in it to be safe and bleed the system of air.
The thermostats are easy to replace in these if I remember corretly.
Good luck and keep us posted.
