derrik is picking up a motor from pasco auto salvage, 97 with 53k on it, they are gonna deliver it to my shop hopefully friday, i'll rip his motor out, put the new one on my stand, change the oil pan gasket, valve cover gaskets and oil adapter gasket, install the new motor mounts, toss his 98 trans on my bench and pull the pan, j-mod it, 1-2 accumulators, filter, new convertor, swap the harness from his 97 into the 98 trans, bolt the trans to the motor, put it back in, fill it with all new fluids, change the hoses, fire it up. me and derrik worked out a figure, plus he is gonna give me the old motor and trans. i think i will use his block to build my new motor for my car.
