Thread: wtf have i done?

since the 12th of this month... waiting on my stupid taxes... new engine, amongst some other audio/visual/HP mods as soon as i get my money.

Yea I know the tax thing lol, at least its still winter and not the great summertime, thats at least one good thing about it!

more than likely get another DD also and let the GTP be my weekend,around town car. i found a 95 ranger splash 4 cylinder 5 speed for a 1000.

Sounds like a deal and if it got to be too big of a problem truck just scrap it

its from one of my best friends... he owns a shop, got a mechanics lien on it... customer never came back to get it..

que? ingles por favor?

ok... my friends fam owns a junkyard. found me a 97 L67 out of a riviera 73k miles for 800 bucks... take it or leave it?

Offer $500... then take it.

^^X2

well theyre knockin 200 off already, just looked at car-parts.com and for L67's with similar mileage they are asking almost 2 times the price i can get it for. ive searched and searched for engines and this is teh best price i can find. and wont have to pay shipping. Noobish question, i cant remember... are there any issues with a 97 goin to 2002?

not sure... its already pulled out of the car, my thoughts were that more than likely since its out of a riviera more than likely owned/driven by old ppl. motor will be warranted.

gtpinsc, did u even pulled the spark plugs to see if any of them were smashed? i skimmed over the 4 pages of your replies but did not see you mention anything about checking if the plugs were smashed?

no, this motor has been giving me a problems... already smashed a plug once on cylinder 6. i want a new motor, then tear my old down to hopefully gain some knowledge and rebuild it with the help of my buddy.

i thought about that, but i wanna do a nice build with my old motor.

let me rephrase... decent build.

No halfass build lol. Doing it the right way is a good thing.
