Well I took a trip to wisconsin to pick up an ecotec for my swap, I plan on mildly building it before doing the swap.
After buying the motor I drove to Ryans and got myself a brand new griffen radiator, and one other thing. Many of you will probably be able to guess what it was but I'm not telling.
Here is just a snap of my dirty car, tool box and garage, yea everything is messy right now
Thanks to Darkstars and Evilmonkitar for the new toys
adda boy ....
welcome to the build lol ..

holy corrosion and oxidation batman!!!!!

Ahh you're going to need more than just that motor to make that work

sorry to dissapoint you lol I've been working so I havn't been able to do anything. At the moment I'm trying to track down the wirirng harnesses and a 5speed tranny. Today I am ordering all the gaskets and arp head bolts and studs. I might make a trip to the local junk yard and see if there are any goodies I can snag. I have a tank lined up but I will not get that until bash time. This will be a slow build since I work so much but trust me it will get done. And to let the secret out It will be boosted. Hahn stage 2 kit. I'll post pics of the kit later.
Small update Got a few things in the mail today, still waiting on my 03+ fire dash
Just put it in to get it out of the way, it will be switched to a manual tranny so it will sit down a little more
If anyone can help out I need all the wiring, manual tranny and everything to to make it a manual, not much more I can think of.
did you buy ryan's hahn kit?
Well got the dash a couple of days ago so I set the new one in so I could get some stuff out of my garage
progress is good... you gonna have it done for the bash?
LOL
keep the update going, good luck
I wish, I still need a lot of stuff that I'm having trouble finding. DTP has some stuff for me that I will get from him at the bash, but I still need a tranny and clutch assembly, and the body harness, and a bunch of stuff to get the motor ready. Gaskets and what not. Plus I don't even know how to put the ecotec together never stripped one down
O well I'm sure I'll get help.
