Forcefedhatch Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 I'll update with pics and a full write up starting the details tomorrow afternoon..94gt full drive train, wiring harness, and fuel system swap..Into a 99 v6 car..Galaxy S4 Active Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forcefedhatch Posted February 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Donor car.. I know you all hate to see it.. but it's a salvaged car.. so F it!!The new chassis. . Still runs. . But burns as much coolant as it does oil.. solid foundationGalaxy S4 ActiveRemove the whole engine harness, ecu harness, dash harness,body harness, trunk harness,.. he'll I even removed the door and trunk lid harnesses! !Easiest to pull dash and harness as one piece.. keep it together!!.. This way when you pull the other cars dash and harness, you'll know where every clip and harness plug as well as dash mounted sensors etc. Are mapped out..Galaxy S4 ActiveRemove the rear end (if you plan on using it in the other chassis).. I am using this cause for one.. fully built, and two.. The chappy open diffed 7.5 just simply won't do.Galaxy S4 Active Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forcefedhatch Posted February 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Harness removal.. best bet and idea is to get some white masking tape and a sharpie.. label the plugs and locations like crazy!!Galaxy S4 ActiveAfter all is done.. let's get to the fuel system.. I removed the whole tank with fuel pump installed. . Will it be a direct swap.. dunno.. but ill have it just in case.. best to get the filler nozzle as well!!Galaxy S4 Active Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forcefedhatch Posted February 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Now the fuel system.. I used a 3/16" drill bit and drilled out the line clips that are pop riveted to the chassis.. As to removed them as a whole assy..!!! Caution me sure your car is stable on jack stands during removal or whenever under the vehicle!!!!..Also there are a few 8 mm bolts on the body for the fuel filter brackets etc.. I removed these as well.. made this a single removable item.. (don't forget to disconnect the plastic fuel lines from the steel, I kept the plastic connected to the engine as a full plug and play removal.. just like the engines harness is still on the engine, just unplugged from the main source on the firewall)The lines will be dirty, rusty etc.. it's cool.. just a lil wire brush and some rustoleum rattle car will make them pretty again.. and preserve the life of them..Galaxy S4 ActiveToo cold to get the garage door open and pull engine etc.. so I made the rear end pretty before install in other car.. hammer finish paint.. and some sealer and undercoating on the gas tank..Also the paint used..Always remember. . Degrease, and clean the surfaces up first. . This stuff is awesomeGalaxy S4 ActiveNext remove the exhaust system, and any lower harnesses, trans cross member bolts.. and prepare for engine and trans removal....Once trans and engine are removed.. your not done with the donor car yet.. you WILL need the k member from this vehicle as well.. I would just remove the whole suspension etc. As well.. Fox guys will buy that stuff for front 5 lug conversions all day long.. your removed parts can and will be usable to someone else.. In this case, one man's trash IS another man's treasure!Galaxy S4 Active Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleeperstang1994 Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 looks like your making some good progress. How are your emissions laws in your area? i know this would not pass here in PA, as far as inspecton goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forcefedhatch Posted February 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Few spring time teaser pics and motivation!!Galaxy S4 ActiveWe have no inspections here.. so it's all good.. Also called insurance and let Em know they said cool.. and rates won't go up!!Galaxy S4 ActiveBtw***don't forget, you will need your gage cluster and dash accessories from the donor car.. many items will not interchange! !***And as you all may know.. This has been an oddly cold year.. so I'm at a halt till warmer weather dawns upon us..This is where the new chassis will sit till then.. may drive it here and there.. but open diff on 18" low pros=no go!!Galaxy S4 Active Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forcefedhatch Posted February 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Also a word of advise.. These cars are not new.. so during disassembly you may/will destroy some of the bushings..I went ahead and ordered a 99--04 cars complete master bushing kit from prothane.. 200.00 well spent I believe... even better if you are keeping the stock control arms front and rear...Galaxy S4 Active Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forcefedhatch Posted February 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 It's 6-2025 -BL from prothane for the kit..Not included is what Will need measured (sway bar bushings).. and also I'd recommend ball joint and any worn tie rods to be replaced as well. ..Galaxy S4 Active Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forcefedhatch Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Btw for those that were wondering. . There was a huge crease and dent on the right side.. to get that out of a poly type or oem type bumper. . It's very simple.. use a heat gun or in my case my wife's industrial hair dryer lol.. heat the area that's damaged and the surrounding 3 to 4 inches (just so the material flexes uniformly.. When it's heated it's very pliable and shapable).. Once it's nearly too hot to touch, from the rear, slowly reshape and let it cool down a few times (once again preventing warpage, as well as retraining the material of its new or original permanent psition)You can see where the crease was, it was nearly indented 3.5".. and it bounced right back!!.. now some 220 grit sanding and light filler will finish the body repair aspect of it..BeforeAfter..Galaxy S4 Active Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forcefedhatch Posted February 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Everyone may notice.. These are stock motor mounts.. Also I have a new stock trans mount coming too.. The reason is.. With the cam, and engine shake.. I still want a smooth comfortable idle and ride.. I want it to lobe nice at a light. . But I don't want it to shake the car loose bolt by bolt.. poly would have been a good choice.. but.. This is a weekend cruiser.. not a race car.. This thing will see all types of road time..and I want to remain as comfy as possible.. I think the lowered suspension will jarr me around enough lol..Galaxy S4 Active Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
