i hope you guys don't think i'm an asshole for posting so many pics...

Very nice. Is that a 420a I saw in the background sitting on the ground with the tranny attached?

yes. will be selling them together soon. i won't sell em seperate cuz the a604's aren't worth a damn. works great though. lol so does the motor

Ah I see. I dont have a use for the auto tranny. I am still debating on buying another motor to build up for boost or just hunt for a GSX and make my GS a daily driver with some pep lol.

My car is one of the pics of the motor!

Someone ask him about Gorilla Pliers. That was a graet part of his build, LOL.

Great car bro!

Laters!

And btw, I want the floor mats.

How come your gauges are black? I thought the anniv models all had silver ones

good observation. speedo was swapped to a manual. i still have the silver in my garage

now I'm confused lol. auto's came with silver and sticks didn't? why did you have to change the speedo when you swapped trannies?

it had a 6500 redline. only speedo i had that had a 7K redline was a black one. changing speedo's is an OPTION. I wanted it so i knew when to shift. not that i really ever get to 7K much anyway tho.

auto=6500K
manual=7K

very hard to find a silver manual speedo, so i went w/ black

Great build and swap, Is that a 50 trim and also is your motor on the ground a Blown motor. What you asking for it.

makes sense to me now. I never really spent any time in an auto eclipse so I didn't think about that. I guess I should take care of my silver gauges lol

57 trim. motor/tranny on pallet is not blown. perfect compression, perfect tranny. $1000 shipped 4 both. yes i know, expensive, but ppl pay that on ebay so if i don't sell it here, which i'm expecting not to, it'll sell there. thanks dale

how many miles are on both your old motor/tranny on pallet.

Does the mileage have any affect for a build on both, most jut rebuild the blocks and new heads. Would be correct hope I didn't confuse you.

no they're perfect. motor has 20K miles on it. rebuilt .20 over stock everything. tranny has 60K on it.

You mean your motor thats on pallet has 20k and bore .20 over

correct

I like how the car is still something of a sleeper. The hood and halos detract a bit, but how sneaky to keep the OZ wheels on that bad boy. Scandelous! :thumbsup

Sleeper!?!?! WTF, haha, how about that HUGE ass front mount on it. Thats not sleeper. But it is a pretty clean car.

depending on how fast the insurance money comes through I might take you up on that price. new reman engines from mitsu are ~$4500 + core and aftermarket remans are ~$2500+

either way it would leave me a little play money to have fun with }(

well, you don't have much time. not to be an ass, but it's been sitting for about a month. I was going to post it on ebay within 2-3 weeks from now. Let me know by PM when you'd like to do this so i can make a descision
