M~Yup, has the flexplate as well. Still have a landry list of stuff to get, new starter, short shaft water pump, distributor, etc. Not to mention my garage/barn/birdhouse is a mess. Still waiting on that Bowtie transmission, Forgot to mention the guy that delivered the motor owns a 92 Vette (Flagstaff), we spoke a good 1/2 about our cars. Did tell him about the site, but he has no internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knkayotte Posted October 7, 2007 Author Share Posted October 7, 2007 Old motor and tranny are out. Both motor mounts fell off the old motor when we were hoisting it out of there. Motor was also running pig rich for a looooong time. Not one exhaust port or plug is the same color. New stuff will start going in tomorrow, also had to order a new radiator support, old one is rusted beyond repair. Were taking our time with it, cleaning and repainting parts as we go, should have it running by Thursday though (when rad support is suppose to get here).

anmracing Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 You dirty dog! sounds like you're making a ton of progress. Cleaning and painting is half the fun, but let's get some video of the startup!M~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inquiring minds want to know....M~It's up and running, have pictures and a vid, will post when I have time. Even with 3.08 gears it will move along nicely. I have 3.55's waiting to be installed, be a while before I can get to them. It will really round out the Vette nicely. Unfortunely my vacation came to an end and now I'm playing catch up at work.I'll no longer be afraid to pass a car! Also did away with the patriot side pipes and fabed up a 2.5" exhaust running summit glasspack, can you say loud. Doesn't sound that great at idle though. From idle to cruising it sounds decent. They were cheap, and will buy me a little time to decide on what mufflers to go with. Also noticed a nice SOP difference from my Frankenstein side exhaust (2" bottle necks) to my current system.By the way, if you have a mechanical tach, link to the little gem below is worth it especially for the price. I might get another just as a spare.Mech. Tach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
