Why'd you get the same engine? Also you look like a serial killer.

were you in that "Dazed and Confused" movie?

[89IROC&RS]

ok ok guys cut it out. but nice job with the car parts, any reason you painted the intake and such red when yor car is blue???

[Genopsyde]

a lot of 2.8's come with the red colored parts from the factory, well, in the fiero's at least.

Wow, what a coincidence.. I just got my new (well used, but new to me) 3.4 in today. Since my cars my daily driver, i didn't wanna tear the engine down and do the rebuild, so I got another one. Cost me $150 + $250 shipping. So yeah.. $400 smackers all together. Pretty good deal if you ask me.



yeah I know, I need one of those engine hoists. I just got the engine in today, so I'll be gettin one this weekend.

btw, excellent job on the swap so far. looks good.

so you didnt want to rebuild your used engine, so youre putting in another used one?????? the logic confuses me. oh and if youre looking to get a cherry picker, check out harbor freight, they have really low prices on tools and equipment. Its not snap on, but it will get the job done just fine. Dont get me wrong, when it comes to specialty tools and stuff like torque wrenches i go with craftsman or snap on, but for big items like cherry pickers or simple wrenches the stuff at harbor freight is cheap and works just fine.

No, you misunderstood. You see, I bought another used engine so I can rebuild that one rather than my current engine. It's got 123K miles on it, so it's not too bad. I was initially going to rebuild my current engine. But seeing as in how my bird is my daily driver, i decided it would be best if I could get a hold of another 3.4 and rebuild that. Then just swap them out. Plus.. seeing as in how this is my first engine project, I figured it would be wiser to work on a engine that's not in my car. That way in case I really mess something up, I won't be screwed w/ no car to drive.

OHHHHHHH i retract my previous statment, thats actually a rather ingenious plan, you arent bent on world domination are you?
