My no choice but to build, build Look at the pictures you will understand

Well my wife managed to roll my 96 3 times after hitting a huge tree and driving the steering rack on the right side back almost into the door.

We bought another 96, but it is a v6 car. Here are my plans below.
Starting from the rear to the front.
Pull the 8.8 out of mine. Install the 4.10 gears I?ve had for a year. Plus I thought it would be easier with the axel out of the car. Only thing now is debating going to 3.73.

Switch out the full interior. It has tan in it, but I prefer grey, plus my interior is in pretty good condition.
Next Transmission just the simple stuff the jmod flush it out. I may put a stall in it while I have it out.

Now on to the engine. I happen to have two complete engines in my garage a npi and a pi. I am going to start with the block from the npi and the heads and intake from the pi.

As I get more into it I will try and get pictures of how things are going. The creepy thing is they are both red with a spoiler that has to come off, so I guess now I will be stuck with a cobra r and GT spoiler.

It?s late and I will post more when I?m not just about to go off to bed

It won't be for long. I have always hated that hood, and had planned to replace it when it went to paint.

This boosted my confidence in the safety of these things.. Glad your wife's ok and hopefully things work out fine.

Me too that is why we bought another one so quick.

she walked out of the car with only a bruise the size of a quarter.

I started pulling the parts motor down today when I found out that someone made off my harmonic bal puller. I will have to pick one up tomorrow, and get back after it tomorrow night.

glad everybody was ok

 

[junior897]

Quick question is the bolt that holds the harmonic bal on a torque to yield bolt?

You're supposed to install a new one after you use the old one. I never do.

As of so far I haven't been able to find one short of the stealership. I guess I will have to call them on Monday I have to get a new thermostat bolt anyway.
