Why did you de-blue it? Too shiny?

Thanks. But I already got 2 sets thanks to this thread. Maybe someone interested will see your post :thumbsup:

I'm still looking for the manifolds. Still no luck. I need both of them. I'm also trying tbssowners.

Oh definitely. Thanks for the suggestion Blazing. Those are freaking amazing, but freaking out of my budget. I was actually considering something more like this by the moment: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=121365418477 Or even cheaper if I could find them used. Any and all...

Thanks man. Going there right now. :thumbsup:

It can be used and rusty, as long as it's not damaged or has any holes. Like this:

Started the I6 to V8 swap. Old mounts vs new mounts: Engine on the way in: This is how far away the tranny gets from the I6 original position. I'll modify that this week: And wiring all labeled ready to be placed in: I will do a thread of the whole process and details, as...

Got the tool and swapped bell-housing and torque converter. Just getting it ready for the V8 swap :smile: Woops! I thought I had a picture of the trans with the new BH. I owe you that one :blush:

Just finished lowering and removing the fuel tank to replace the fuel pump. I hope you guys don't mind a quick question here: Is the fuel pump assembly the same for I6 and V8? Same par number? I found this on the description for a new pump and got confused: The reason I'm asking, is because the...

Super bonded and stuffed the center console lid pin with epoxy resin. Was going to add unidirectional carbon fiber to the inside of it to add strength, but did a whole mess and ended up just with the resin. Super bonded pin: .jpg] Scratched the surroundings of the hole to give the resin some...

How did you open them? Heated the edges? I need to take apart one of mine for cleaning (rat poop inside) :stars:

Thanks for the suggestion, not a bad idea at all. My problem is the time and money I have for this swap. I already have the oil pan, supports and some stuff on the way and I would like to hear (read) that I wont even need to take off the tranny or drive shaft, just drop the engine in and step on...

Rephrasing question: Is the drive shaft shorter or longer on a 2WD TB with an I6, compared to a 2WD TB with a V8? Or they are the same length?

Hello all, My question is: do I need to change the drive shaft for a longer/shorter one, and/or transmission mount when swapping an I6 with a V8? Purchased a TB with damaged I6, engine already removed. And I'm putting a LQ9 I've had for a while sitting in my garage, and keep the stock 4L60E...

Agree, the whole center console is not a good quality thing. Nice clone the one you got there BTW :thumbsup:
