Default Made some nice progress today.

FINALLY got around to pulling the old V6 from my '94. I removed it by myself and started around 4:30pm and just wrapped up around 10pm with one trip to Lowe's in that time (30mins). Now the fun begins. Enjoy!

I've got two options I'm leaning towards (both carb'd engines) 383 & 454 builds.

Go 454, but then again I'm biased.

Good luck. The only luck i had was with this kid from ohio. He runs a performance and turbo place for the v6'ers. It might be fullthrottle or something like that. I cant remember.

Got a bit more done today.

Used about 2 cans of engine degreaser to begin cleaning up the engine bay along with the wheel wells. I removed the battery tray along with the washer fluid reservoir. Took quite a bit of time removing the dashboard and the passenger side airbag. (no pics of that - batteries died - try to get some tomorrow) I also started to remove the a/c components which is not as simple as I initially thought it would be. I'll probably wrap that part up tomorrow. But here's a few more pics of my progress.

Got my batteries charged and took a few shots of the progress from yesterday and today so far. Got the a/c parts removed as well as some other misc items.

454 all the way. Abilitly to upgrade to monstrous cubes and if you want to upgrade you have more options with less work.
