wedding is in the works. We got married a t the courthouse. Weddingwill be in cali this year.
Manual parts are in, motor is ready to drop in, we need a dif side/rear bracket which i cant pull until next weekend. Ill post pics up soon. So excited!
Sadly we didnt leave it in because we need dif mounts. His is running and pretty muchdone save a bad starter. I need to pull a5th gen tranny mountso we wonthave to re weld the side. I think the 5th gen rear mount i have would work but lee isnt sure. I am excited... we did two 5 speed swaps in one weekend, crazy crazy! Btw if anyone is interested in my old vc its FS for the right price...
Much thanks to Lee and KoKo as well as Justin formakin this happen.
To avoid welding, I got a 5th gen 5 speed tranny mount, then drilled back just behind the stock mount position. It was way to tight not to drill it. This is much easier than cutting off the whole mount and welding the manual mount in. Used a few washers on driver side mount to level the motor out. It sits pretty level and rear and front mounts lined right up.
I will get some good pics once the engine bay is cleaned up. For the P/S belt I took my old belt and said I needed a longer one... ended up with about a 45 or 46" belt which fit perfectly after he pulled out like 5 belts. Just need to wire up reverse now. My PT6 is running the motor with no codes but it doesn't feel very smooth to me atm.
I want to use my P06 and start learning to tune it before long, need a chip burner. Body work and paint is more of a priority atm so hopefully before/by summer I will have the body done and be able to start fine tuning her. I'm caught between the thought of low stock boost or bisi headers/cams for future power upgrades... I am leaning towards turbo I think, as I have a small turbo I've been sitting on for a while. I'm not gonna go crazy, around 220whp is my goal fully tuned, very achievable with 6-8 psi.
lotsa work been going on here. Glad to see it.
Dohc is such a better feeling from my experience.
If i run across a cheap cb7 I'll prolly grab it, we just paid my wifes car off and have no car payments now, which leaves room for my impala build and possibly another cb7.
