AS for NW Indiana peeps, I think I'm the only one. There are a few 3's but I think all those people just have them because of the fuel efficiency thing, not being fans...
i'm in highland

Re: ProjectMX - BP swap and AWD Swap
Well i have a custom engine harness from bpt323 and the engine will be done soon i'm waiting for some finishing touches on the intake manifold before I install it after that here is my list:
help install 1994 wiring behind the 1994 dash *i'm trying to make this work on a 1993 car*
help install fuel / brake / vacuum / coolant hosing in engine bay
Help install the shifter and shifter cables properly *I am waiting on my new shifter cables which may fix this*
help installing dash *this is the 94 push button dash, car was a 93 slider dash*
help installing the carputer system in the car
help install the external gas pump and properly secure the fuel cell
help install the radiator
with that done all i'l have left is
install the intake and exhaust manifolds
install the axels
install the radiator
install the driveshaft
Complete the front engine mount
and the car should be driveable.
I would still love some help i have about 5 more months of storage it is north of detroit... free beer / liquor and food to anyone that can help and probably could through in car parts and maybe some money to boot for any help... i could for sure cover gas also

Re: ProjectMX - BP swap and AWD Swap
Well I tried to drive up and do a little work today but sort of screwed up, i forgot a few items at home (its a 45 minute to hour drive so I can't just run back and forth easily)
I was able to test fit the new alternator belt i picked up (it was about 3 or 4 inches to long i think)
I also test fitted the lower radiator hose and it fits nicely.
Here are some new pics

Well here is my monster radiator lol... the engine should never overheat as long as coolant is moving where it needs to.

somehow the hood still closes!

Better pic showing the real color of the valve cover, also showing the installed pace setter header, oil filter relocation, and general engine bay for now

Re: ProjectMX - BP swap and AWD Swap
Current list of what needs done. As soon as I get my tax return I will start looking into paying someone to come help me finish so if anyone can spare a weekend I will make it worth your while
locate a V6 front engine mount and find a way to make it work
install the external gas pump and properly secure the fuel cell
build and installupper radiator brackets
install the front and rear calipers
install the front and rear axles and drive shaft
install the pigtails for the fpr solenoid and the one next to it
install fuel / brake / vacuum / coolant hosing in engine bay
install new metal brake lines on back end of car
slightly modify one of the shifter and shifter cables (shouldn't be hard)
install the carputer system in the car
install 1994 wiring behind the 1994 dash (i'm trying to make this work on a 1993 car)
install dash (this is the 94 push button dash, car was a 93 slider dash)
once full dash harness is figured out and the wires for alternator and starter and moved properly then battery lines need to be run to hatch and a battery has to be installed

Re: ProjectMX - BP swap and AWD Swap
because of the AWD swap the front and rear trans mounts don't work. The rear mount is completely costume. The front mount I think can be used with a little modification.
