I was going to respond to all the bullshit witchcraft and voodoo hype about buying off ebay, but I think Rich covered it pretty well. I bought a cometic gasket off ebay. Yes its a genuine Cometic, yes it was cheaper...because it came from ebay does that make in inherently bad? NO! some...

Hell, I'll sell mine for 10k! there is a reason why these cars are still for sale!

Best thread EVER! I lol'd out loud! redundantly!

http://home.comcast.net/~kthaney/motorready.jpg clean, modded trans sitting behind it ready to go in. Its gonna be pretty! Sure hope my wrenching was good.

I did NOT get the trans bolted to to the motor today. I got the trans all buttoned up and clean however and ready to go on tomorrow early. I also went over the whole motor with a fine tooth comb and checked torque and fit and performed a few tweaks to routes and mounts. Im real happy with how...

so absorbed in my own little world I havent checked in here. I know where you are at and its a long haul from there. The best advice I can offer is allow time for setbacks and dont burn yourself out on it (ask me how I know this, lol). Sometimes I wish I had a motorhome and a race trailer. I...

I do. It was a working system (albiet not all that cold) so instead of opening the system to the atmosphere and risking contaminating it or otherwise having to refill it all over again I left it connected. I expect to have the trans all buttoned up and bolted to the motor today.

wow, cool! Im impressed someone took the time to read this archive. Im getting real close now to putting the motor back in the car. I need to put my transmission back together, and also finish up cleaning the engine bay. Then I should be able to get the motor resting back in its rightful place...

I have to give Lam some credit. He must have incredible self esteem to be able post pictures and info about his car knowing he is going to get slammed. He has terrible taste in car mods, but he has a personal fortitude I find refreshing.

me first

doesnt look like Im going to make it for this.

5 - 194's and 1 - 74

next to the 1st gens, the 6'ers are my next fav! and what a steal! thats agreat buy! I seriously think you are going to love that car.

I tried Toyota, backordered 2 weeks. I looked around online for o-rings but all I ended up finding was places that sold em in the "gross" and I only need 1 of each. Also it was difficult not being an elastomeric polymer scientist to decipher the different compounds (yeah, too many big words even...

Awesome. I cant see how he will not like that in the months to come.

Thanks Ian, I believe you would be a man of your word on that as well. but yeah, this thread wasnt supposed to be about this topic. I was mearly trying to find out what seemed like the best way to cash out of this project. I'll keep the personal feelings and other stuff to my build thread.

Well the "Mentor for hire" as he called himself, who responded to a post I made over on SF....complete no show. We made at least 2 appointments for days he said he could come help...guess who put the bottom end together all by himself? LOL Dan came by and drove my ass all the way to Champion...
