It's just some fluid passages and restrict this, open that. Don't worry. If you mess it up, you can always take it out and redo it.
Gee,...thanks.It's just some fluid passages and restrict this, open that. Don't worry. If you mess it up, you can always take it out and redo it.
I think like that sometimes... and I turn wrenches for a living.I think i’m better off scrapping this car, buying an S 550, and focusing only on the things that can be improved with a screwdriver, a lug wrench, and my wallet.
I need something stupid to play with. Something that makes no goddamned sense, to do even stupider things to, and so do you.

Then I snap out of it. That's what my daily driver is for. That's why it's mods are wheels, tires, a backup camera, and upgraded subwoofer, a deleted resonator, deleted running boards, and a radio with bluetooth and DVD.
I don't need a faster, but less capable, daily driver to make payments on while doing piddly little bolt-ons.

And between the two of you, what you’re saying is that the car i’m fcking with is somehow “ Not stupid” and something that actually makes “goddamned sense”?I think this probably sums up most everyone in these forums.
No, I'm saying that you need something that makes no sense, and that the Fairmont with the 2JZ/4L80 swap is that thing.And between the two of you, what you’re saying is that the car i’m fcking with is somehow “ Not stupid” and something that actually makes “goddamned sense”?
Im curious to see what you think I need as an outlet to offset the day-to-day monotony of a jap engined, GM trans-ed hodgepodge of homemade sht.

That's the child that was born in the "Cars" universe after Mater had a threesome with an Oldsmobile Alero and a Pontiac Grand Am.What happens when they don't:
Take a box cutter to the sound deadening material first and cut it at least 3/8-1/2" further back than you need to use the cut-off wheel. That'll buy you room, keep it from melting, and allow for cleaner cuts. Throw a fiberglass welding blanket under the dash (they're cheap) to protect the wiring and electronics while you're cutting. Sparks won't hurt it one bit, it takes more heat than a cutoff wheel produces to hurt it, and you can simply shake the metal dust out of it later (don't forget to engage safety squints!) and fold it up and put it away for next time.A cut off wheel will be tough to get close to the back of the engine, and that fcking thing will be throwing all kinds of sparks under the dash..just doing its damnedest to see if I can’t start a full on 5 alarm fire in the car, and burn the whole damn house down at the same time..And as a cherry on top, all of that sound deadener will be melting and gooing up the blade as i go.
All of this is Thursday’s work...I have till then to decide..
That isn’t just a pic of a 4l80e under a Fox Dean, it’s a picture of a 4l80e under a fox with an LS engine in front of it. That engine is way farther forward than I’ll be able to allow for. One of those pics actually shows where the tunnel turns up and reveals the firewall, and the front of the trans is still forward of there. I do not want to space the K member down, that’ll put that much more of a gap between the top of the tires, and the bottom of the fender.The factory rear trans mount bracketry was cut away along time ago when I first built this thing, so anything I do will have to have a custom mount added to it anyway.Its the Trans crossmember, Mike. If you decide to put in the LMR Modular Spacer or Maximum Motorsports 1/2" K-member spacers for 79 to 04's
in the front and some kinda THM 400 style extended back x member, then you'll just have to knock a little of the area where the electric plugs go.
Four things before the finger.
1. K member goes down.
2. Trans X member goes back,
3. and your gonna have to change the rag joint with an extension.
4. Then a little MC Hammer time.
The basics just need some tab and armidillo casting spikes removed. El $$ Duo types have been doing it since the early 00'tees.
