There is a guy on corrall that is going to sell me his polished cobra intake for 125. I just cant pass that up lol. If I didnt see that one I would definitely be buying yours. When is the head/intake trade going down?

No problem, glad I could help.

[Inkdcountryboy]

[cwh19]

Ha dan I guess you decided to rip the extra crap in the front off lol

[Inkdcountryboy]

he decided to go bare minimum.. lol

[cwh19]

The piston with the bad injector looked alright?

[Inkdcountryboy]

yup looked fine.. his shortblock is good.. but again im no professinal

[cwh19]

Wow. Thats nuts for having like 140k miles

[Killercanary]

Wow. Thats nuts for having like 140k miles

That's why I love these 302's!!! Mine with 155K on it looked great!

Congrats and getting it torn down, now the fun begins in putting the new goodies on!:thmbsup:

[Inkdcountryboy]

yea..very very little ridge on the bores..and i didnt feel any piston movement

[Inkdcountryboy]

i voted for pulling the shortblock out and cleaning it up and put a new clutch in. and a tubular k-member lol

[turbo83coupe]

X2 at the least a clutch!! it will need done shortly after new motor goes togethe anyways probably... do it ll at once!! :thmbsup:

[Inkdcountryboy]

id drop the pan put new seals and oil pump in it..just for safe keepings since its that far.... but thats just me

[94svtcobra]

the car has 120,000 on it, and as far as replacing some stuff, its deff getting a new clutch, all of the smog and emissons stuff is gone, the ac is gone, and maybe a few other things, Id like to cut down the wiring harness as much as possible.

Id also like to paint the block while I have it torn apart

[Sonic03snake]

Looks good, better get that coolant out of the cylinders.:thumbsup:

[wishIhada5.0]

it wont clear the plenum?

[94svtcobra]

it will, but the cai wont clear it

[wishIhada5.0]

because of the way it comes to a Y at the strut tower? maybe one for a fox would work?

[94svtcobra]

[wishIhada5.0]

I know Khris had one layin around a long time ago when he was buildin that 2.3 car for Karly...I dont know if he still has it though..ask him lol

[Inkdcountryboy]

ya im switching, the biggest thing is just having the correct tools, and getting all the accesories off

[05mineralgt]

i second that! dont have a craftsman $50 toolset lol you most likely wont have what ya need
