Ya I'm all about making the extra money.

To get the GenV to work, I'd need a TB adapter and a N* TB, and then some tuning. No thanks.

The new engine has not arrived yet, but I was bored today, so I got a head start.

Before

During

Out

While I'm in here, I'll replace the leaking power steering line. Otherwise, everything else was dry. No leaks anywhere else.

Stripped it down to the block. Turned the engine over, and felt all the rods by hand. The last one I grabbed was obviously the culprit. It wiggled quite a bit. Cylinder #6

Here are all the "leftovers".

All bolts carefully bagged and labeled

Now I just have to wait for my L32 to arrive.

True they nailed him on shipping... But if you look close at the prices its can make it more than reasonable...

Yea I know what you mean, they good prices make up for the extra shipping. Rockauto is definitely a good source for parts.

Got one of the packages today, with the majority of the parts in it. Opened it up to find destruction. Everytime I order from RockAuto they have horrible packing skills. This shipment had ZERO packing material inside the box. The shipment included a set of HEAVY shocks, and a HEAVY fan clutch. Placed in between those were all the small gaskets: oil filter adapter, throttle body gasket, and exhaust flange gasket. All three of them were folded in half. RockAuto just received a call from me. Now I have to go buy those locally. They refunded me for the parts, but its only $8. You'd think that a company as successful as them would be a little better in the packing deparment.

Depends a lot on the warehouse... For the most part I have had good luck... Most of the items I get are packed with the air bladders and or packing peanuts...

Sorry to hear about the issues with them Andrew..

I have a shipment waiting at home with brake pads/rotors, a cabin air filter, and H3 bulbs in the box. I'm scared to open it now :eek2:

Looks like it came from the Bethpage, NY warehouse.

The engine finally showed up today! I gave it a quick rinse at the car wash to get the dust off. This thing is immaculate!

But it gets better. This is what it looked like when I took the SC/LIM off. I've never seen anything so clean!

GenIII vs GenV

Swapped over the exhaust manifolds, showing the difference in outlet offset.

Putting the new Felpro metal LIM gaskets in place.

The new L67/L32. I used the black valve covers because I think they look cooler.

Here is the L32 stuff that I didn't use, and will be sold.

Engine waiting to go in tomorrow morning, after my Belden wires come in.

Put in the new power steering line

And in case this car ever needs a tranny down the road, here is a pic of the tag for future reference.

*dang* that engine is clean!! Sounds like Shannon's uncle is going to have a great, reliable car to put a ton of miles on. :wink:

Ya he will. Another fun fact: I ordered those new rear shocks from RockAuto without even looking under the car. I figured it would be some preventative maintenance. Well I just looked under there now, it already had brand new shocks installed! #-o

The new engine looks like a fresh rebuild. Think someone made a mistake and thought it was "used"? - BC

No, but considering it only has 21k on it, it basically is a brand new engine. Just getting broken in.

I can't say the thought didn't cross my mind... but there is nothing wrong with my engine. If I ever do end up needing one, I know what I'm getting.

Napa screwed up and didn't get my plug wires in. UGH! I ended up putting the 22k mile OEM wires back on. I'm sure they will be fine for a long time to come.

Engine is in and runs like a dream!

Couple of undercar shots. The subframe is shiny because of the power steering fluid that had been leaking. I wiped it all down.

All back together.

Car is basically done. I'm heading out for the weekend, but when I get back, I'll probably just do a quick vacuum (maybe pull the seats), and then its ready for delivery.

Could you wipe down the other side of the subframe...? My OCD is tingling...lol

You planning on cleaning out the embedded brake dust in the wheels?

Shush Cody.

I think he is painting the wheels gunmetal, but I'll still clean them up when I do the final wash.
