Today was a good day! Found an oem flywheel for $75 delivered, which is about half of what I have been seeing them go for. I'm coming down to the last few items I'll be needing but unfortunately, they're all the high priced items.

At this point, I'm thinking about taking advantage of doing internal upgrades while the motor is out of the car. So I may splurge for pistons and rods. Also, a little hesitant on OBX headers and the KYB struts, so I may also save for Ripps LTH and D2 coilovers.... I got nothing but time, so I might has well do it right

Keep it up! But does this mean you wont be posting in the GS section after this?

 

[trevroar]

I'm sure I will, I like both flavor eclipse. Although the motors are completely different, you'd be surprised at how much they are a like in many ways

AHHHH, I havent seen this thread untill today WTF. I can wait to see this finished, props to you for actually doing it I have seen a few people talking about it. Goodluck with everything you have ahead of you and I hope you dont have too many problems along the way if any at all. I'll be skulking over that engine you have too If you ever do decide to sell it hmmm. good shit though again!!

Be patient with the parts, pretty much every day a GT bites the dust somewhere in the US.

Yes sir, and I am very anxious to jump on the opportunity. I need the shifter assembly and cables which are $400 from the dealer. This will be the last piece I buy for sure, I'm willing to pay $200 for it if anyone knows of any wrecked GT's

 

[360jeepboy]

we will make a new section called GS to GT convert... lol

 

[Christatic]

This is awesome, You will have the power of a gt with out the higher insurance payment.

 

[trevroar]

Yep on paper it's still a GS

 

[Mech Automator]

Long time no update... everything ok?

 

[DustinH]

Probably getting everything together.

 

[trevroar]

Yep still working on it..... going to lay down the order for the flywheel and clutch from one of the vendors on here next Friday. Had to put some money into my daily driver so it set me back a little. Will keep you guys updated!

 

[trevroar]

OH HAPPY DAY!!!! Found the 6spd manual shifter assembly at a junk yard for $80 delivered. New was $200+..... hopefully it comes with the cables... we'll see.

Original post updated for cost and part numbers...

Here's a pic of the donor car

Awesome progress Trevor. What all are you missing?

 

[trevroar]

To get the motor in, all I need is the clutch kit and headers. Once its in, then the real fun starts, I'll need everything on my first post that isn't X'd off... and prolly a bunch of little stuff that will come up along the way. Main goal from there is to get the engine to turn over and run. Then just upgrades to suspension and brakes..... I'm a little behind on cash from my accident I had with it.

 

[MitEclipse07]

are you going to wait to rebuild it fully and than throw it in, or just going to throw it in and work on it from there?

 

[trevroar]

I got to drop it in all stock first, make sure it runs, I don't want to do anything else to it till I know it runs well as stock

 

[trevroar]

Man, I got to get moving on this.... I've decided to start parting parts off the four banger, keep an eye out for FS threads, should have some things up later tonight.
