fparts.com but they're stores listing are on ebay under the same name. I have also shopped with them and was quite pleased. Pricing isnt the cheapest but the quality of the parts they offer offsets the cost. They also ship via freight, excellent handling and packing.

Yeah I got it from fparts on ebay. It cost me 4100 bucks which is a reasonable price due to the mileage on the package and that it has a m6. Im from CT and fparts is in Pa, so it only cost me 240 for freight shipping. This year im going to do some bolt ons like LT headers, maybe a throttle body and underdrive crank pulley. Next year i plan on doing a cam swap.
Your plan seems like a stout project! Should make some good power!

heres some pics of the build. I removed everything from the engine bay and painted. The paint is a little light in some areas. But not bad for a spray can. I also resprayed the lower control arms and spindles. Updates to come....

Great work, should be a great looking third gen!

jimmy92rs

thanks, I had to remove the heater box and wiper motor out of the way because they interfered with the install. I plan on running the pcm under the dash. So I have to cut a 2 inch hole in the firewall to make the pcm connectors fit threw. (Originally in a 4th gen the pcm is located in the engine bay.) Then I will use a firewall grommet to make a clean look. The next ajenda is to install the clutch and then the t56 with the spohn lsx swap x member.

Wow, that looks really familiar! (I didn't paint my a-arms or spindles though, I got tired of waiting on it to warm up enough & wanted to start getting the car back together - although I DID swap in new a-arm bushings & ball joints.) Should be a really nice swap - but it wouldn't hurt to include one or two pics of the rest of the car as well...
