Re: started tear down of the 01 motor
Good on Chris.. although I'd check that he doesn't clean the cases etc. Cause that writing is JY writing of the stock number of the car typically. Still don't like rust on an input shaft. I've yet to see one sitting in my garage for 3+ years rust.

Re: started tear down of the 01 motor
Good to hear on the reasons for the writing etc. IDK on the rust ... that input shaft should have had a layer of oil on it from the trans fluid that flowed through it. If that's rusted, is the pump shaft rusty (goes through input shaft) and bigger IMO is .. did the pump vanes rust, did parts in the valve body rust.
Knowing that transmissions sit in junkyards and on shelfs for years w/o signs of rust, makes me leary of this one. I mean.. in my garage (Connecticut) I've had them sitting on the floor next to the car that comes in wet, frozen in snow etc through all weather in the course of a year and ... never seen a rusty input shaft like that. Hence my thoughts on it. I have a trailer with trans parts in it .. they've been in the rain and the only ones with rust are the ones sitting in a puddle of water.

Re: started tear down of the 01 motor
Thats how I feel drop a motor in it sell it fast and call it a day, but 500 or 600 from the regal would be nice lol I have some decisions to makeKeep the regal and eventually find a motor for it then flip itfor that price your better off having all 3 for a period in time until you can get some other motors etc

Where are you located again? I would love to swing by and help wrench. Perhaps pick up the topswap while I'm at it.

Re: started tear down of the 01 motor
What does the harmonic balancer look like?
Also I swapped a l26 into my gtp and the only thing I had to take off was the upper intake, the lower intake, heads and harmonic balancer. All the sensors in the block, ie cam, crank, knock, are the same 97-06.
sorry I didn't post back right away I figured im going with a low miles motor and put it in, I saw white smoke come from the exhaust so I know the gaskets are bad, what is your guys thoughts?
I cant wait till Friday getting gpos tranny and a few last parts for the gtx im too excited
