Re: 1997 Black GTP, Now With Gen V.
I dont think I'm going to sell it. For only $55, I think it's definitely worth putting on my car with the Rocker setup.
I've also been told you can tap into the Valve cover then run a vacuum line to the intake for fresh air. Is that possible?
3.4, Gen V, solid tune, and if you havent read earlier in the thread, I also have 1.84 Yella Terra rockers with 90# valve springs to go with. Should be a solid build.
And brandon got his trunk carpet. You're the only one that left empty handed.
That sir is a $200 profit.However, you could get more I think. Might have to hold out, but you could get more.
Nice pic of me lol. I had a lot of fun with you two today. Never a dull moment when the GP dinguses get together

To get to the bolts was impossible. Trust us, we tried. The only way would be to cut it out, or find a way to get a power source too it.

Well that kinda sucks to hear.
Let me know if you see any other vehicles we can tear into!

Do you happen to have a 99+ alternator bracket. I heard I might need it for the Gen V swap.

Browse craigslist Brando. You can easily find a cheap aftermarket unit. Maybe even eBay too.

I heard you might be alright if your not intercooled. Not sure though. Let me know if you at least have a bracket, well worry about getting the alternator later if need be. Maybe I'll say mine went bad and bring it AutoZone and get a new 99+ alternator for free.

Couldn't get the wiring harness out... Using a car battery was the plan.

You shouldn't need the 99+ Alt bracket to do the Gen V swap. It only becomes an issue when going IC as it causes clearance issues for the rear IC core fitting.

Awesome. Thanks for the heads up.
Did you see my other post? Anyways I'll say it again, I've been told you can run a vac line from the valve cover to the intake tubing, instead of tapping into your throttle body. Does that actually work?
