got a new motor, put the motor all together, cleaned it up, new gaskets etc... just gotta bolt the trans to the block, and it will be just about ready to go in.

its a t25 flange, 5 bolt gt downpipe flange. pretty much stock replacement for msp as far as bolt patterns and everything goes.

there were 2 problems. 3 of the wires going to the coil packs wer severed, and there was a kinked fuel line...
Luckily, i was able to get the car back together and running, only to put it in gear and find out the differentials spider gears seem to have fallen apart.... ugh. new trans this weekend then it should actually be on the road again.
on the plus side though, i did score some sick wheels, picks coming soon!

Got the new trans in a week or so ago. has a few hiccups, but i got to drive it for the first time in a while! need a heater hose, new battery, and SPAL fans.
left it out without the hood on for a few nights on accident and now no spark again... hoping the cold just messed up the coils? back at it later tonight.

the cold wouldn't make the coils not fire. I would think your coils got wet or something
