Venturi

Im gonna post it in the for sale thread if you want it ill let you have first dibs

I think ive finally got all the problems hammered out took my header off today and had the hole welded that the starter wire put in it, installed a wide band aswell its a bit rich

I spoke too soon I locked the motor up tonight I think a bearing went but I'll find out soon hopefully the heads aren't damaged I'll be buying a short lock soon if anyone has a good lead

well aint that a *****

sumb1tch really?

Selliot this car will never be partet out lmao, but yep she gone, I'm not too upset about it I had suspicions the bottom end was weak time it does have 140k

I may get a fiero one day and transfer it all over then you can have the wheels lol

UPDATE: So it has been about a year since I locked up my engine. Shortly after the I blew the engine I started a job as a mechanic. I haven't done much with the grand prix over the past year but am getting back on it soon. Being a mechanic brings many resources to the table like more access to cheaper parts, and a shop with lift to work on my car. However, being a mechanic also means ive been working on cars all day so when im done i dont feel like working on my own vehicles. I have decided I cannot delay this engine build any longer. So, I am planning to get a junkyard motor Monday for 450$ its from a 01 regal and the mileage is unknown but they claim it is over 150K. Does anyone think its a bad Idea to buy such high mileage engine. If so what would be a safe mileage I only need the the bottom end. Ill be using my heads and cam if possible. Reminder- this engine build is xp cam ported heads supporting mods for 130#springs, gen 5, intercooler, e85, and tep trans. Ill be updating as soon as I get the new engine. Ill be attempting the engine assembly myself. This will be my first engine rebuild so ill be doing plenty of research. I have a clean place to do it and, might have to buy some more tools tho.

I bought an engine Monday, I found a better one with only 120k miles for only 400$

Hurry up and get it built lol

Well its time my car lived up to its name. Stattama kit just came in the mail. **** just got real!!!
