The Dark side that is...

This board is a great resource for most of the quirks found on the 60* V6. Come in, hang out, ask and answer questions but PLEASE don't tell us to get a V-8!!!

lol

dont worry about the v8 stuff... i understand the power of the 6

anyway, i plan on eventually ditching the motor in the car because when i wrecked it (jumping railroad tracks in the country is not a good idea) the engine was damaged & knocks pretty bad.. i figure, busted rod or 2... car is still running and drivable, but has not been road worthy due to the front end damage it has sustained.

What i plan on doing...
swap the 92 v6 for the *** of v6s the grand national engine :hail:
leaving my 5 speed alone... its freshly rebuilt
installing a new windshield......dont ask
repairing the front end... need consmetic work
installing both front fenders......dont ask


Sounds reasonable enough doesnt it..??

Yes but you continue to help us rather than tell us to get a V-8 when we need help
