How is the motor? Miles? How much for eveything needed to transplant into my '83?

You may want to check Craigs List in Brunswick GA (i think). There was someone looking for a rear frame for a GN.

The CList block is all stock and 3.8". The motor in the car is ?????, but some ring damage of some kind done to one or more walls. I think that at the least, I will have to push a block out to .020 and buy new pistons. So rods can be checked and reused. I will have the CList crank checked out...

2 more questions. 1) My connecting rods got mixed up. (can we just leave it at that?) The caps are matched. Is there anything that I should do to them before I reuse them in the rebuilt motor? They will be mismatched and How can I tell the forward/rear of the rods? 2) Another member may have...

I can use the 83 ECM and dist. you have. Price and shipping to 32218.

I need them.

That helps a ton!!! Thank you. So I am glad to see that I DO have a turbo fillet crank. I had seen some pics of a crank with angle cuts in the oil holes of the crank and thought that was what made it a turbo crank. Mine does not have the angle holes,but it is a fillet crank. So things look a...

"3.8 14 bolt" Do you mean 14 oil pan bolts. This block in a 14 bolt oil pan, is that a turbo block? Also, the seller said it had a Fillet Crank, but it is not. Are all turbo motor cranks Fillet? If not, how can I tell if this is a turbo crank or not?

got it now

Well, its a new day........ AND I'M STILL PISSED! Sorry. I think I'm just going to box it all up and take a few days off to think about it all. Oh, here is the pic you ask for its not letting me put up a picture now. I'll post it as soon as I can.

The valley. Just found out the Crank is stock 3.8. I was sold a stock 3.8......trashed. I post my pain so others will not be as DA as I have been. ..........hey, can I quote that?

I know it makes it harder to answer my questions now, but can I de-bur the motor myself with a drill, before the machine shop?

UMMM. You have no idea how much I don't want to post this!!!! Bottom line, I got in a hurry to get back home and did not check the oil pan. "Help me load it, I got to go". Engine was not rebuilt! Got home and after someone said "let's pull the pan", we had it down to the block in about 2...

Thanks guys. I already have my tool bag loaded. I dont think I will pull a head, but I will pull the pan and if all looks good, Ill be heading south with it. I just hope someone remembers to let my DOG out......and don't play in the car while its on the ramps!:) OK, Three cups of...

OK. I just made a deal for the CL motor. Can you say........ROOOAADDD TRIPPPPP? Best way to cover and carry the motor in the bed of a pick up? Im thinking two old tires and duck tape!
