Sooooo i blew a headgasket on my 1990 v6 camaro rs about 2 months ago, so i bought a new (to me) engine and tranny with 100k on it, from a 1992 v6 camaro rs,well taken care of car and engine, got to drive the car it came from before it was pulled, strong motor, so after 2 months of getting my stuff together and getting old stuff out, i final got my camaro my new engine\trans and a engine lift in one place, time to do some ghetto over haulin! I got to put all "best of" accessories back on my engine
put the wiring harness back on, then hoist it up an
get-er-done as they say, i got my drive shaft and old tranny out, entire exhaust system is gone, heh he, this is gonna be fun. Any tips that anybody has for me would be appreciated, im kinda wondering if i need new tranny cooler lines or if i can just reuse the ones that came on my new trans, wouldnt they be the same size on any 3.1 v6 camaro? Thanxz guys

 

wouldn't need ne wlines at all, everything is the same as far as trannys go

 

oh i know i dont need new lines now, thank you though, im actualy wondering when i should/ shouldve put them in....
so here it exactly 9 hours later,ive put all my accesories back on, wired up the entire engine, got the engine/tranny combo in the car, engine mount through bolts are in, tranny cross-member is up, now tmr i got to wiring the engine to the car, do vaccum lines, do those trans cooler lines, new belt, run the various cables, drain fluids, replace fluids, prob flush an fill the cooling system, oh yea and prob most importantly get the driveshaft back in, whew, damn lot of work today for one person, luckily all the hard stuff is done and its just details now, just hope i dont need to back track too much to get those cooler lines in, i damn wish i had some help on this but unfortunitly i dont, any v6 owners in ct? i might need to look at your engine if this doesn't start......lol

 

wow, i guess nobody cares about what im doing put ill post anyway, so it runs!! i started it up today! still need to run the coolant hoses to the radiator, run the transmnission cooler lines install the driveshaft, change all the fluids, then just go over it all,but i did it! im so damn happy, i think im gonna get a spare set of rear tires an roast them till they pop, anybody in ct? wanna watch?
