I'll have more for yall tomorrow gonna be putting the motor on the stand and getting her cleaned up and looked over. Also probably start on the harness

when putting these aluminum blocks on the stand is it okay to put them on just like the cast one? (sorry never messed with aluminum blocks before)

That's ugly. Your mother had to have heard that coming.

Is this the motor you were wondering about with the spark plug?

 

[fowjacob]

Yes sir sure is! Didn't think it was gonna be that bad tho. when I drained the oil straight antifreeze came out! Just got to hot I guess. Mom just said it died I don't know how she didn't hear that

If you weren't so far away, I might have wanted the rear end out of the donor.

How far are you away

 

[Stewzer55]

Ohio, Depends on the ring gear size and ratio, and if it had a G80.

I have the 8.0 and would like the 8.6 with a 3.42 ratio and G80.

Just a few miles haha! I have no idea what rear end is underneath it I just have to look

 

[Stewzer55]

If its a 8.0 G80 carrier, I'd still want it. Having that would mean my TB won't get stuck as much and would be near unstoppable in the winter. What wheels are on it by chance?

Wanna saw the exhaust tip off of the rear muffler?

For???

 

[bucket]

For???

And sell it to me. I have two already, but the end of the tip is cut a little different, and it's obvious when they are side by side. They must differ through the years, if I get a third one, it should match one that I have already. It's for a Camaro exhaust project.
