  1. one thing these 3800 swappers never tell you is if the reatta engine and trans mounts will fit the series two engines.im trying to buy a 1987 fiero[four cylinder/auto]to swap my engine and trans into.the kits to swap the 3800s never say if they will work on my 1989 engine and trans too.
  2. Reatta Owners Journal - Series One Engine Swap Information
  3. im going to look at a car saturday if its still available.its 3500.how is the payment handled?im not carrying 3500 dollars around.
  4. i was thinking of doing them hanging from the engine hoist.
  5. unbolt torgue converter, bellhousing bolts,engine mounts,exhaust,fuel line,intake hose,throttle cable.kick down.water hoses,vacuum lines,what am i forgetting?
  6. the thing i don't like about fb marketplace is that you can't search for certain year cars.also they throw other cars into the search findings.if im searching for a 2005-9 mustang i don't want to see 2003 mustangs,camaros,or challangers.
  7. does facebook charge for car ads?
  8. because they will fit rivieras too
  9. you got lucky with the weather.i thought friday was an all day rain.
  10. CHANGE the freeze plugs while the engines out.mines drip drip drip.
  11. i think?i saw someone selling a 1991 center on one of the reatta facebook groups today.
  12. this can be a major problem.they are hard to find and some are impossible to repair,
  13. i also have that nc native tag though not on anything right now.i really like that riv.
  14. he has other videos on building the engine mounts and three inch exaust.he needs to link them.hes apparently a cavilier nut.he has several.
  15. i wish i knew what hes saying. i don't why he installed an engine without a clutch or pressure plate but this looks encouraging.
  16. is there a rear wheel drive tranny that works with this 3.8?i know earlier 3.8s were rear wheel drive.i was going to look at a 1977 not running mgb today but someone beat me to it.
  17. i was thinking taking an economy car with too small an engine from the factory.like a vega but front wheel drive.i will never own a four door car.four seats are ok since the back seats never get used any way.i have never driven a car with someone in the back. i just assumed that 3.8s were being swapped into cars other than jeeps and fieros.
  18. it was totaled by the ins company.currenty has riviera body parts kinda fitting.
  19. the rear freeze plugs on my rivetta have started leaking again so im wondering what would be a good smaller car to swap the drivetrain into? a fiero is the ovious choice but its hard to find the right one. since everyone with a reatta perks up when the 231 is mentioned,i wonder if they have seen where a fwd 231 was swapped into a caviler/beretta/sunbird or other?
  20. i checked on rockauto using suspension struts as an example.not available.im afraid this would be worse than the reatta for available parts.i need to get a more popular car.it is a beauty though.
