    Kind of old news but I realized I never posted here for some reason. Anyhow quick little rundown. Back in November I was hearing a grinding noise up in the higher RPMs and thought I had ****ed up the bottom end of my motor. So I jumped the gun and bought an L32 :P

    After picking up the motor, on the way home from picking up my car (had to borrow a friends truck) my clutches took a dump. Keep in mind I had just installed this USED trans about a month prior, so it's no surprise it didn't last long.

    Anyhow, after pulling the motor I found out the grinding noise was actually coming from my flexplate. Ah well, good enough reason for me to throw out the L67 and toss in the L32

    Now keep in mind these pics were taken over a period of about a month while waiting for my trans to be rebuilt



    Few more after I removed some of the accessories... Just cause i'm a picture whore





    Pulling the L67











    N* TB with LS1 MAF



    L67 stock 69mm bore compared to the n* stock 75mm bore




    N* installed


    10.5mm wires



    Got my Trans back



    Just about done. Did all this in less than a half hour working completely alone. Was cold as **** outside and being from CA, I like the heat haha

    Before putting the hood back on



    Final update vid

    YouTube - 98 GTP L32 swap. Final update - FINISHED!

    And lastly, the complete shot






    Pretty proud of myself, due to peoples schedules and me wanting to get **** done I did the entire swap from picking up the motor to finishing the install completely alone :P

    haha the comparison vid I know isn't the greatest, but it's what I had for the moment :P Also note, the L32 was recorded from a cell while the L67 was recorded from a digital camera, so in my mind that evens things out haha
