Killed in a car accident a couple years back. Was a good friend of mine and basically pioneered the 3.4L swap for us. He was the first one to do a "complete' write up on the swap.

Re: 1989 v6 manual tranny

I'm sorry to hear about Ked85, i remember him from about 3-4 years ago when we were on our great quest for our cali legal 2.8 V6 pace headers. Do you know where his story is? was he in his camaro or s10? Man, that makes me sad.
