Low option 1990 LX 5 speed - electric windows and a/c is about it for options. I'm afraid to look at what the several trips being drug up that trailer has done to the subframe connectors. They were welded in many years ago. Eibach 1.5" lowering springs as I remember it. Rides ... uh... firm. Definitely not sprung for drag racing. Oh well.
This poor car has been sitting for 12 years. I don't even what to know what the bores look like on the 342. I pulled a 302 out of a 89 Lincoln LSC to get it back on the road in 5 days, should be interesting. The LSC mill is probably a little tired, with 100k miles on it, but it will hopefully pass inspection with it.
I didn't want to put it in 5k builds because I don't plan on it staying there. It will return to street duty as my dd. Here's the sad story today:
Step one - put replacement glass in RR quarter window. This is when it really lost momentum, was broken into about 11 years ago so the junkies could steal a broken radio. I hope they got busted with it.
For SBG, yeah, I know windows don't make it faster.
Step 1a - 302 from LSC and T5. I should probably wash it all first.
Harbor Freight is trying to lose the cheap orange paint=cheap chinese junk by painting it grey. lol.. they must have hired one of our old managers. We fixed reputations by renaming things. hehe.
I'm almost positive all the sending unit / sensor stuff is exactly the same and the LSC was a SEFI deal so I'm pretty sure my harness will plug right up with no mods needed. If anybody knows different I could sure use the heads up.
A small village of field mice moved into the trunk, maybe step 1b involves vacuum cleaner. The T5 is sitting behind / under all the crap in the corner. I screwed up the neutral gate switch many moons ago so I'm hoping the A9L doesn't care as long as the clutch is down. I don't think I have ever started a manual trans car without the clutch depressed anyway.
