ods and ends -24
= Total money invested 14$

You, sir, are a mad man. That is an absurd price.

Do you still need a harness? If so there is a u pull yard here in SD that has a 1997 Regal GS. and the harness is all there. they want $8.50 a foot. not sure how much that would be. LMK

I was at pick n pull and there were several 97 gtps and such but it has to be an 02

Yea I knew that

(copied from w-body)

My friend bought it and went to go pick it up and they didnt have the keys, so it was not loaded on the trailer, its 130 miles away and he gave 250$ for it. Today he said, i have the keys and title, But i dont want to mess with it. Said i could have it for 330 dollars (what he has into it) So i agreed, told him i would sell the 60gb ps3 and my games for 230 and get 100 dollars out of my checking account and buy it. He said he wanted a ps3, and would take it and 100 dollars. The ps3 i have i gave 30 dollars for (Ylod unit i fixed) so total money invested 130$

thats the only reason im pulling it done is to put aluminum intake gaskets in it. lol

On the past 30-40 intake gaskets i have did, for my self or at the dealer i worked for, i drain coolant out of the raid petcock, then do an oil change after its all done. Thanks for looking out though!

Tomorrow im probably going to install the gear selector cable i got, then pull the LIM out and clean the hell out of all the brackets and blower, and LIM, tb, and paint all the black brackets.

that is kind of an over kill considering how much water gets in your oil every winter from condensation. But, i can see why you would do that.

The best i can tell would be A back valve cover (even though it doesnt look like its leaking its kinda dirty there...)

Or B (most logical to me) front injector on the drivers side. It was the Only injector burnt, and looking at the BBV, the fire was most deff Hottest there,

Yes on the vc gaskets no on heat shield

also have wiring harness sourced for 45 shipped ot my door (WIN) that is UN-cut,

Next i need to find out what sensors i have laying around from old motor swaps, and what ones i don't. then i need to make a list of everything i need. So far on list for next j/y run

- weather stripping under hood
- valve covers (if i cant clean these up
- i know a sensor or 2
- brake reservoir (if i can buy just that)
-coolant overflow tank if i cant clean this one up

To Buy from parts store
-Valve cover gaskets
-injector o rings
-problem solver Metal LIMG
-tb gasket
-t-stat
-oil so i can change it (even though it looks new, hell the whole motor looks like it was babied inside)

-new head lights, 4300-5000k hids, (high and low)
Then i need to figure out fuel lines as i want a factory look, Im thinking cut factory fuel/purge valve where they meet the metal under the Break booster and splice factory ones in.
