Alright well it comes down to this... my clutch was squeeling once in awhile so i went out and bought a new clutch when i got the car... was gonna pay my friend $130 to put it in today while i was at class... i drove it to his house and it was squeeling so loud when ever i pushed in on the clutch... later i get a phone call saying he cant get the car up high enough to get the trans out and that he decided that he didnt wanna do it... by this time its squeeling in nutral... i decided to drive it home and take it to a shop... i have a clutch preasure plate TOB and i just picked up a pilot bearing... (to me it sounds like a bad bearing....) On the way home the clutch stuck and wouldnt come back up... car got a little hot so i pulled over and then it wouldnt start all it would do is make a squeeling noise andd crank
here is what im faced with now a 205k car with stock motor clutch n trans... should i just pay my mechanic at home $250 for the clutch and fly wheel to get resurfaced... or should i buy this 96 or 97 explorer motor from the junk yard with 70k on itfor $500 and get him to put the clutch and everything on that motor and put it in for $500... i think he told me he knows the oil pans need to be changed ect... but if i get the motor i can sell my mint explorer manifold for like $200 and make some $$$$ back... what do you think... should i just go all out and go with a gt40P...???
Also... do the gt40p's stock exhaust manifolds fit up with our h-pipes...
what gains are you seeing out of gt40p's
I need answers quick! lol going at 8am to talk to my mechanic tomorrow morning... i asked him what to do... he said either it all depends if that motor is in good shape... i saw what it came out of... it was just T-boned.... so im gonna go make phone calls now... help a brother out....
