This weekend I welded the 1 1/4" tube that locates the rear tranny mount. After that I was able to cut out the left side sheet metal. I have a BIG pile of metal left over. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif)

QUOTE(URY914 @ Dec 9 2004, 01:14 PM) Steve, Very intresting... Why did you go with a 3.1? Is it all aluminum? What is your final price going to be? Paul,here is what Ihave so far..... 1.$400.00 for the doner car (complete with engine harness and ECM) 2. $455 to KEP for adapter & flywheel machining 3.$300.00 for top end swap (heads,upper & lower intakes,timing cover,valve covers) 4.$250.00 for after market cam Then I will need to freshen up the engine and build some headers and add exhaust. And what ever it will cost to do the heads. There is a guy an hour from me that said he could re-burn my chip also. I'm probably leaving some things out, but you get the idea. Unfortunatlly the block is iron and the heads and intake setup are aluminum. KEP claims it weighs 85lbs more than the flat four. Here are a couple of pics of the engine and trans axle.........
