+1 for bill lol.
Srry guys I was pissed. Timing to translate angermisse. The Project car is a 97 monte carlo 3.4l dohc which barely slipped its timing, like it will run for a second or too then it dies. The mechanic told me it was dead without touching it, but I don't believe him because there was no bang when it stopped running.
Anyways, I picked up the GTP for 800. The tranny is mint, engine has no rust its just that little rattle issue. I brought it to the mechanic, he took 2 mins. said it was Junk. Now I thought this was a little odd, for it didn't drive like a junker and didn't rev like a junker. So I tried to explain to him that the reasons he thought it was bad was not true, but he cut me off and wrote me off almost immediately. Then he took the dip stick out said there was metal in the oil. that that knock is the supercharger and that it is dead. After this, you could only imagine the heart ache for a 19 year old who dropped 800 on a junk car. I wanted to double check on his findings, so I did a little digging in the car to find not one thing he said is true. Make more sense now?
OH and bill thank you for opening our eyes from the views of mechanics, I had yet to even think of his situation. Still however, he does constantly write me off, and not just with this car. I will be switching to another mechanic to do the swap.
