Ouch, looks like the bearings from the parts car motor I bought. 16g ftw, if I were staying in dsm's I would just build a crazy 16g car, cheap and make power, plus tons off fun to boot. Did you ever find another motor?

So finally figured out that my sweet parts car needs an ECU, motor that hasn't run in 2 years fired up like a champ and idled great.
Found out that it has 450s and a 14B, so I'm already ahead of the game.

So tomorrow is a big day, apart from my usual crap I need to source a water pump, AT car came with a spare Gates T-belt so I'm good on that and probably a BSEK. Then the motor will be ready to go in. Oh I also have my lifetime warranty 90amp alternator to swap on even though this one is fine.
End of tonight (8/18):

In classic me and the broseph QUigs, broke more tools, well just one this time, but it put us at a major halt. (exploded my 1/2" ratchet, thx craftsman)
Axles nuts are rusted on, downpipe bolts to not want to cooperate.
Should be out completely tomorrow, and I will be sourcing some ECU repair services and some AT trans stuff, oh yeah I need a title for this thing too.

You need to learn how to use air tools. Lol
The thing started and ran on shit gas and after 3 years of sitting. What is it going to do with e85 and a 16g? Sept. 25 Automagic vs. MunchAuto Rockfalls?

^I need a good air hose.
I want to say this thing fired up with the help of munchgsx, i think he had less than 10 mins standing there and it just happened.
Needless to say, I think with him standing there drinking some Natty Ice while I work this motor over its gonna get some good mojo.
E85 and a 16G and full weight? That is a realm undiscovered.
I did learn that I will probably never break 400whp with this car though.
Update for the peoples (I might of said this already):
My awesome parts car has now provided motor, radiator (awd one had the herp or something on top of it that leaked like a fountain), and NON-abs parts.
Not too shabby.

Very nice. Doing the abs delete will be a lot easier with all the stuff you need from another car.
