look for a donor car, blown motor,bad tranny ect..Out here theres a 2wd 2dr gl coupe 83-84 that would be a sweet little swap $125.00 is all he wants.

thats cool, I believe from one of your other posts your an IT person. Up here at Wyotech, Laramie Wy I think they might be needing a IT person. Checkout Wyotech.com, maybe worth your while.

moving with out a job locked in? that sounds risky, then again I might not know your story, anyways I'm a little n-west of Denver about 2hrs, I probobly cant help ya out much but would like to catch up with you after your settled down. I'm about 30 min from some nice mountain crawlin.

Whats up with the Galaxie Vicky, Year, Style, Motor? I'm a S.F. native by the way too. Hey Dave I'm down south about 4-5 hrs in Laramie Wy. You should or We should try and hook up some time. Any ways I just thought I'd stick my nose in and say HI!

I see, That makes me feel a little more ambitious about doing the swap. I can't afford the 100 bucks for Jerrys kit and wasn't sure I could do it if I didn't buy or fab up some new linkage. Did you know if you still need blue interior stuff?

Looks good, Hey a couple of Q's. Your Radio piece you said is from 2wd car? what year?, and your 5spd set up, your not using the kit from Jerry? so if you can live with fabbing the trim up you don't need to modify 5spd linkage to do the 5spd swap? and finally your sig says "need 80 gl wagon blue stuff". I just witnessed a wagon with blue trim getting dropped off at the school, I gave it a quick lookover, in three months there will be nothing left of it, if I can grab something what might you be needing?

yea a pic would be nice I've got a couple of rear diffs layin around, been thinkin of doin that for mountain runner.

I had the exact same issues. I cured it with a new tranny. With a hoist and two guys we did it in less than one hour, and didn't pull the axles from the hubs. now I have two spare trannys, one with third gear out and another that wont shift out of reverse, I hope to make one out of the two for a good solid spare.

It would most likely stop the cackling type backfire though? right?

So in doing this will there be any increase in power?performance?

Okay how about this one. I dont have a cat, put in custom y- pipe and 2" all the way back, I see how I should leave adapter on, but what about the asv stuff? should I block off the tube and start throwing things? or just leave it, I get a little cackle back through my dyna-flow muffler when shifting or backing of throttle.

I noticed on mine that its basically the fuel,temp, speedo and clock unit not working, idiot light and 4wd,rear defrost all come on. Could mine be fuse issue?and again who's got one to sell or trade, i've got a few things I'd give up for a new dash.

Well I've added to the family tree. Just got a 84 Turbo Coupe 4wd. Two small rust spots,alloys,power windows,power mirrors,3at,sunroof,powersteering,a/c,cruise, she's loaded, it's even got the trunk rack.Too bad the digidash is out but none the less.It'll be our daughters car.all for 400.00. not bad eh? oh yea gotta throw in a waterpump too.

The dash isn't working, I wasn't sure if alt replacement would revive the dash or not.I can live without speedo, but what can a guy do to get temp gauge and fuel gauge, I'm sure I could run a mechanical temp gauge of motor, how about fuel, any Ideas?

Hey Turbone, I just picked up a t-coupe and the dash is sqealing like you indicated in the previous posts. You say swap alternaters? will this bring back the dash issues, meaning will the dash work again or do I still need to buy a new dash. Your fixin some, seems they all have a common problem, how much you chargin to fix? or do you have one to trade?

Hey where I work the school totally destroys at least 3-4 soobs every three months.right now there's a hatch4x4,a 4-door 2wd,and two 5spd D\R wagons just taking punishment until they meet their demise .Luckily I can scrounge alot of drivetrain and interior stuff before the students destroy it.Latest scores.. a lightly pitted w\shield,4 h-alloys w\centercaps,center consol(stereo part,and the back with armrest cubby) oh yea a 4spd,and 5spd D\R trannys.

how much longer?anyone know?is it the same for the rear?I'm wonderin??? wider tracking longer control arms??higher engine mount with lift???is it possible or am I pissin in the wind?

Are these two the same? I know that turbos are different but are e81 ande82 interchangable? is there a difference between 2wd and 4wd talking front ones now.mainly concerned with manual trannys not autos but give me input anyways.As always this board has been a learning experience and I LOVE IT!

I remember seeing threads on this but my search turned up little.So here goes,What is the ultimate disty set up. My ride is a 85 Brat 1.8 with 4spd D/R, I've got a accel super coil but thats about it.I've seen the threads about 2wd distys but would like a few inputs on a ideal combination,I think someone said my year brat had the best already but wasn't sure. Thanks all for your input.

Cool, we guessed air boat,close huh! So the belts going up drive the fan to push the boat and the one going down drives something?that inflates the surrounding tube to make it hover?

so what is it? rim or hub? I'm not sure I understand, your thread states rim and the message says hub.I measured a stock H-alloy and a steelie across the center. 95mm, does that sound right?

so I'm reading this thread ,getting curious?then I come across this picture and I say to my buddy "what the hell is this guy building?"so my reply is "hell if I know why don't we ask." so we are, what is that your building?

yea if you could throw up a pic to show the bracketry and pulley alignment that would be cool. It doesn't sound to difficult pics always help though.

Yes do tell, whats the basic wiring set up and what was the total upgrade?,whats the amps on the factory compared to the GM one?I've got only two of my six lights hooked up,I'm a little concerned about a meltdown.I also have my rockford 550s and two 10's behind the seats running constantly too.A better alt would probobly be a good thing for me.

Hey thanks for the clip, I dont know why I couldn't find that green one,Now can anyone do video clip of the 495hp brat, pics are cool but a vid of a 10 sec. brat
