Buck531 Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 After tanking the motor on Saturday and picking up a complete L67 motor for $250 off of craigslist, it's done. Tuesday we go get the motor. Wednesday I change the oil pan/gasket and do other minor clean up on the block Thursday I pull my motor in like record time (2 1/2 hours lol) Friday swap parts over to my motor (rockers, LIM, misc. brackets. I also decide to drop it in the car. Today I hooked all the rest of the crap up. Started right up the first try. Filled it up with coolant and drove it around the block. now to pull the old motor apart and see what happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88lx5oh Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 congrats... im in the same boat kinda.. just got done from putting the new tranny in, but while i was in there, i figured change the rear main, put a neww throw out bearing in, and inspected the pilot bearing (which was in great shape) looks like it will need a new oil pan gasket soon though.. ehh it can wait a little while. but on a good note, the tranny shifts amazing, and no grinding anymore for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenny Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 ... and I got an email from someone with another "working" Powermaster, said he would send it to me and I could pay him when it was on the car and working. So that's cool, as long as it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main3s Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Are you going to leave it mostly stock now? You should have posted something here, I have a complete short block just sitting. I was saving it for when I blew the motor in my car but I never got that far. lol. Congratz on getting everything back together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should have posted something here, I have a complete short block just sitting. I was saving it for when I blew the motor in my car but I never got that far. lol. Congratz on getting everything back together. I did. it's in the tech section I think. my $250 complete L67 > your short block for probably roughly the same price . Of course I"m not going to leave it stock. All my intercooler stuff is still on the car.. just no core. I'll get one after I sell the top swap for $500 . I still have the headers and rockers on it and the ported LIM. here's the pics of the f'd up motor. http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=54484 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
