Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

    Series 2 bellhousing bolt pattern?

    Just curious if it shares the same bellhousing pattern as other engines of the same vintage, or if they still used the old Buick pattern...specifically I'm wondering if it would bolt up to a 700R4

    Swapped motor, now transmission won't engage Park

    So I've been swapping out the blown motor in my sisters '97 GTP. I've got it mostly buttoned up, just waiting on some vacuum lines then I can see if it runs. I was putting the wheels back on it and I noticed that they were turning pretty freely, which was odd since I thought it was in Park. I...

    :th_angry-cussing: Arrrgh WTF is this baloneycrap? I'm resealing my sisters new motor before tossing it into the car, pulled the oil pan off and there's no gasket! There's just a plastic windage tray with an integrated silicone gasket. I'm guessing you have to buy the whole windage tray to seal...

    Fooling rear O2

    So my sis popped the motor in her '97 GTP, and we're in the middle of swapping in a good motor. I decided to just yank the whole exhaust out from under the car so I can inspect it for leaks, got to love FWD for having the exhaust run under everything so it's easy to pull. Anyway, I notice it's...

    Bad news bears (1997 GTP). Engine replacement?

    I posted a while back about my sisters GTP having a rough idle, which turned out to be a smashed spark plug. Well, it ran fine for a little while, then promptly ate the same spark plug 2 more times. My old man had a spark plug lying around with the same thread that was a little shorter, so that...

    '97 GTP, rough idle

    My sisters GTP developed a rough idle recently, and she said it acted odd while driving sometimes, so right away I figured the TPS was shot. We decided to replace the IAC at the same time for good measure (I liberally sprayed the IAC passages with carb cleaner as well). Fired it up, and not a...
