It finally started & continued to run on it's own today, 26 Apr 2004!!!!!!
This is my 1985 V6 Firebird. The 2.8 engine had a cracked block, and was replaced w/a 3.4 motor out of a 94 camaro. Due to an unforseen fire & fan relay blown fuse, engine harness was cooked & I couldn't pass up on a sweet deal for a 3800, tranny, harness & PCM.
Here are some pics of the body durring the engine/interior swap. Yeah it looks kinda crappy, but no body work will be done untill the other stuff is fixed. On the fourth pic you cain also see the flying pig that came free w/the car :-/
Some close ups of the 15" wheel/tire combos. I'm running Sumitomo HTR 200 215/60R15. Not the biggest or baddest, but lighter in weight & will do all I need them to do for summer tires. Now that I'm going to the 3800, I hope the Sumitomos aren't too skinny, as I'll probably have to much fun leaving bits & pieces of them behind me, one tire track @ a time
