Default WTB Roller, Must be 4th gen, v6 or v8

I want to buy a roller, to swap my parts into. As many of you know/may not know, on friday April 6, 2007; someone cut out in front of me and I swerved to avoid killing them, putting my car into a pole. I want to buy a 4th gen roller, preferrably a v6. I dont care if it has an interior or not, I have my entire interior from my car, fully intact.


Email me please, chris.riedinger @ ***.net


Thankyou

You're just mad because Im persistent enough to buy another, and start over.
I have enough stuff here in my room to make the a good machine, and the transmission stuff to handle (anything). I just want a shell, Ill pull my old stuff out, put it into a new car.




Please don't ballbust in my thread, Im looking for a new chassis, not a headache.

Me and a buddy took a 89 Fox body mustang apart down to the shell on a friday night, regasketed the motor and on sunday night i drove the 87 GT home, mind you the 87 was just a shell, no drivetrain at all, we had it on dollys

Good luck buddy.... I'll place a good wager that Mark rainville's car will be running and torn back apart well before you ever get that started.

Dude, your a nice kid, and you might work in autozone...... but that doesn't make you a mechanic.

I beg to differ.



I did a whole motor swap l36 to l67 (n/a to super charged) along with all the wiring harness to adapt it in a 98 Regal. Did the entire motor teardown and rebuild myself, in my garage, with my tools.


Please don't insult what you dont know about me. I didnt do anything to hurt you, you just wanted to buy my wrecked car.


And no offense, to ANYONE who had their motor built at a shop, but I would never pay anyone to do anything to my car short of (alignment and tuning). I do all my work myself; with a BFH, if need be.

Hey what's the big deal here. It's his car. The accident happened it happened, it's very unfortunate that it did. Now is there really any need to come in here and bash his hopes that he can swap it all over, no there really isn't. Cars in his name he can do what he so wishes with it. I'm no mechanic either, but I'm just saying, we all learn somewhere, maybe this is a great opportunity for him

not like its gotta be done tomorrow. if he screws something up he can fix it. All it takes is time. You will get it done and good luck to you. In my opinion half the fun is puttin it together.

cant be any harder than what everyone in the conversion section has done

i helped my buddy with his 67GTO ls1/t56 and he custom made his harness, its not bad just time consuming

If the V6 car is a '98 or newer--not a big deal. A '93-'97 car will be a whole different can or worms to install the LS1.... WJ

Actually, a 99-02 car is different from a 98, 93-97 car. Different fuel setup. Different PCM. (assuming both v8s)

99 to 99 is drop and swap. (same- assuming both v8s)

Do yourself a favor, look for a 99-02 v8 roller, dont even get involved with a v6 or lt1 car. At least there may be a glimmer of hope the car will see pavement.
