Well that's still great turnaround time. I had to do my clutch at my friends place with a lift and it took over a week for us to coordinate a few hours to get it done. It's good to have friends with equipment though!

Operation fobra day 2 was a good one resealed the oil pan new rear main new pilot bearing new throw out bearing. Tublar k memebr installed then tbe motor and of course cause it florida the rain stopped us. Hoping to have it finished up next weekend

Decided I didn't like the whole grinding of the arms so I sold my buddy my old motor if he bought me some coilover sleeves and springs so those should be here this week and I get my tublar arms put on with it

And really hoping to get my hood back soon cause the stock one isn't even close to fitting

did your k member push up the motor? i was under the assumption that a 4v wouldnt have any issues under the normal gt style hood

Hmm...im thinking about doing the same thing but v6 to 4v, did you have to change harnesses? Fuel system?

 

[97_281gt]

With the gt I didn't have to change the fuel system cause they were both 97s if it was 98 then it's different and only have to change the engine harness pretty simple swap imo

Im looking at a 99, so ima keep watching what ur doing, i figured it be pretty straight forward. The other thing i dont know is if the trans are the same from v6 to gt. Already plan on changing clutch but housing wise. Thanks bud keep it up

Yea the fuel system will be different for you idk if its as simple as swapping rails or what mine happen to be the same so it was easy. Trans is different you will need a t45 or 3650 and you would have to swap k memeber and transmission crossmember
