Well, this is going to be fun...My wife now hates me. January 23, 2006, 07:04:00 AM Well, After looking at it from her perspective....I can understand. LOL One upper radiator hose leak has translated into a brand new aluminum Fluidyne radiator, a new aluminum t-stat housing, a new black magic electric fan, 2 more guages, .... 1 180* t-stat, a new water pump, all new cooling hoses.....Oh yeah... i'm in trouble. i Tried to justify how i went to the parts store to get an ECT sensor, and an upper rad hose....but it didnt work. I just fuigered..."Well, since the cooling system needs a drain......Why Not get it all done at once?"SOOOOO.... It looks like I have my work cut out for me.... both under the hood....and.....LOL well, under the hood, so to speak:tg: HAHAHA I'm so F*&KED:rollin: :hick: :flame: Quote Selected

Well, this is going to be fun...My wife now hates me. Reply #9 – January 24, 2006, 06:22:48 AM LOL yeah, it is easier to Ask forgiveness....especially because of two reasons:1. Right now, its our only working car2. I'm about to rebuild a transverse V6 for her car.....Namely a Chevey Beretta Z26 (1994 vintage) LOLCar is actually in good shape...just blew either a head gasket or that lower intake gasket. 3100's are known for that, at least the older ones. Shes planning on doing "all sorts of stuff" to this car, so I told her "thats fine, as long as i get to do "Stuff" to my TC." So, i have a fall back position. LOL There might be a 3400 or 3800 swap in the future, along with either a supercarger or a turbo...5 speed convert, and some suspention goodies. And since I'm going to be showing her how to do all this, it basicly means I'll be doing it....... so with average shop labour at 55 bucks an hour.....I think I'm entitled to a few goodies...LOL I just like to get paid in advance!

Well, this is going to be fun...My wife now hates me. Reply #10 – January 24, 2006, 06:24:58 AM Of course, I should just look at my sig when it comes to rebuilding a chevey product......LOL I'll have some pics of this car up today later on Quote Selected

Well, this is going to be fun...My wife now hates me. Reply #13 – January 24, 2006, 01:02:58 PM put the 3800 in right away anyway. much better engine. Quote Selected
Well, this is going to be fun...My wife now hates me. Reply #14 – February 27, 2006, 08:06:57 AM The 3800 is gonna need some rewiring if not mounts and such. Not entirely too sure what is needed to get it into an L body but in a J body it is a lot of work. You would be better served with dropping in a 3400 from a later GAGT. That engine would basicly be a plug and play option. Hell instead of doing the rod bearings and such just go straight to the 3400 its a direct swap for the 3100 with a few extra HP. Quote Selected
