You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig.

Because he pulled it out of a tractor...

In Illinois, at least, it's illegal to install an older engine in the vechile than the model year of the chassis. One has to wonder, how old is that engine anyway?

More money (or loans) than brains?

Look closer, that's header wrap. The cold side of the turbo is closest to the firewall. Weird, I know. Must have something to do with the industrial application the engine was used for originally.
