...in one week end dude you can have the motor pulled,freshened up and re installed with a new clutch,throw out and a disc...clean all the terminals and bs and be done with it...no sense doinf a swap on a van that has more rust issues than mech issues...dude get the priorities in order brother.

[bansheelos]

Just refresh my memory on when this became a bashing thread?

[JUS_GT_EYEZ]

When did you become so sensitive?

I just looked back to see what might be bashing and could not find it. Sure most of us dont really pull punches (you know I don't) and tell it like it is, but I think you are missing the point being made. Folks here want to see this project done. You are getting real world advice from folks that have pulled a bunny out of a hat before. It aint magic, its just plain jane planning, and hard work that leads to reaching the ultimate goal.


This aint the mk3 forum where folks just bash to bash. Take this as advice, constructive criticism or just plane advice and motivation before you think its bashing.

Oh and if it will help IOU 1.5 bro hugs.

always pleased to see later bay projects that aren't using that overgrown paperweight known as the type IV motor.



you order up your kennedy adaptor assembly yet for the vr6? they have a rather long lead time.

[bansheelos]

That's what I'm talking about.

Granted I still have the mk2 in the garage but that thing will be gone on wed. so I figured just putting a few hours for the enpine pul and I gotta say it wasnt that bad.

There ya go banshee!!!!

So what you're saying is I cant sell this thing for 1 million dollars lol I called KEP up and apparently they have 2 diff sizes for the plates (8in. & 9in.) So I have to measure it.

I wanna pull the trans out next and clean up the case, want to pull the tank and try and clean it out. Wanted to start the rust removal process in the engine bay, whats better grind ing or chemical removal?

[RafCarre12]

[Schell R32]

Gonna use that trans too? If not I might be into grabbing it from ya for a spare for the hot rod

Does that motor run? Whacha gonna do with it?

I was going to post the engine for sale on thesamba, I didn't get it running nor did I I really try. The trans I'm gonna keep.

[Schell R32]

gcha...if that motor would fire up and sounded smooth i'd be interested in it for a spare for mine.

[RafCarre12]

gcha...if that motor would fire up and sounded smooth i see why you'd just leave it in there instead of attempting this ridiculous swap.

fixed it for you.
