^Sellin a dream..
The motor had around 150 thousand on it.. Im going to swap out the long blcok on it i think. Not sure yet... Gotta make sure....Popped the hood and u can hear it pretty bad.
So i gotta look and see what i can get a long block for at the jy. The one i put in it i got for 75 bucks in northern kentucky a couple years ago . but im far from there now in michigan... so i gotta make calls tommorow ..

If i could blow 5 grand on it . Id be on it.. What do the mounts go for ?
Are you guys thinking of putting a b20 in it with a b18 head and pistons?
Im B20 stupid.. the axels would cost big bucks
I could just imagine the amount of wiring and so forth needed to get it running right with the v tech. But is it possible to do all your own gauges and just a ecu to run ? Im clueless but i think its actually more simple than what everyone thinks it is as far as getting the wiring right. I think with the right understanding of how the wiring goes the easy part it just swapping and adding wires form what i read in a someones thread.
I dunno but it would be nice for sure and would suite this cars size with having the power a b20 block an bring u. Alot of work tho but would defiantly be a satisfying investment

yeah its starts to get easy if you know what needs to be connected to the ecu so it can run

I Got my motor and it was in terrible condition. Like is sat out in the cold and rain for a season....
So i stripped her down and im going to just swap over my intake and repaint the exhaust manifold And cover. Its in alot better condition than the one i got.
I stripped the JY motor down to the long block . I just degreased the whole block then scrapped on it with a couple flat heads a couple times in some bad areas .and wiped it down twice and reshot it with degreaser for the night. There is a lot of stain on the head around the plugs that i wanna hit again and clean it up better .
I didnt get any paint yet.
Auto zone only had like red black and blue in the high heat Paint.. I Need Black and Silver .
I grabbed a new valve cover gasket tho .
Im leaving all the brackets on the block and just paint bolt bracket and all. Including my wire harness clamps that are all rusty .
I Got as far as the wire harness on the motor im pulling out. And a couple ins and outs. But if forgot my jack stands and i dont make messes. So the sun gave me enough work light....
So tomorrow im back on it. I should have her in and running and looking good on Sunday. Just to make her special
I cant wait to pull it tho. I got to rent another engine hoist so im tryin to get it to a in and out thing. I might have to have it for two days because i have to do the radiator too and im going to pull it with the motor out and i want to clean the engine bay as good as i can,
