Re: Engine make over
Not as much as some ex girlfriends ,LOL!
suprizingly not that much,.. rims, rubber , cf hood would be the big ticket items.
engine rebuild : $150.cnd bearings crank & rod. 100.cnd crome rings. 100.cnd compleat gasket kit (ebay deal).
Looking at a paint job this summer that will be expensive.

Re: Engine make over
Wow...I actually want to frame the very last pic. I'm a V6 kinda guy, but that engine looks sweeeet! That truly is a great job! I wouldn't worry about the money, it's the time that must have taken! I don't even have the spare time to change my tranny fluid or oil! So when are you coming over to rebuild mine? lol

Re: Engine make over
Two questions on the headers.
Did you use the down pipe that came with the headers?
Did it bolt up to the rest of the exhaust?
My headers are on the way, so any help will be greatly appreciated.
I also heard rumors that other people that did this mod had leaks in the exhaust. Let me know what happens with yours.
Also, if anyone else has done the Probe headers mod, if they had troubles with exhaust leaks afterwards.
Thanks a lot
The car looks so sweet...

Re: Engine make over
Yes , Just had it all tighed in today at the muffler shop. The down pipe has to be heated up an bent down about 1" . The probe engine must sit more upright comparied to the mx leaning foward. The hangers just halve to be bent in the oposite directiopn an extended a bit an it then fits perfectly into the rubber hangers. The pipe on the car has to be cut back towards the resonator an a new flange to mate up with the down pipe. This only cost me $45.00cnd at the muffler shop, not bad. I will post pics of the pipe tommorow on my cardomain site.
Also it was a blast driving to the muffler shop with open header, LOL, scared the crap out of some sunday drivers.

Re: Engine make over
Oh ya
I took a good flat file an took all the high spots off the flange ,also I used high temp silicon along with a new exaust gasket. no signs of any leakage on the head an I dont have the top two bolts in yet. Remember take out those two studs because you will need to use allen head bolts because of clearance with the pipe.
