GIT-R-DONE
Veteran CEG'er
Been awhile since Ive been on this forum, but now that Ive gotten a SVT, and its in the garage being revived, I guess I can go ahead an make a build thread to join the likes of the others on here that have done the same.
Found this one living up to its FORD acronym, found on road dead. Its a EO and had 181,xxx miles it before it met its demise.
Previous owner said he heard knocking and it lost power, then pulled over for it never to move again. I paid him 600 bucks and picked it up off the side of the road from him and off I went. Now that was a year ago, and the car has been sitting idle since, until lately. The body overall in is really good shape. A couple minor door dings, and the hood and trunk need to be repainted since previous owner decided to add a few touches of his own, as you can see in the headlights. The interior on the other hand, is in amazing shape, aside from some rub on the carpet from the drivers clutch foot. seats are in great shape, as well as everything else.
Finally moved into a place with a garage and has ample room to start tearing it apart, and heres where Im at now. Got the front end off of it, and started pulling the necessaries, and some unnecessary things, and eventually will have the motor out when I get some motivation to do so.
Found this gem while pulling out the plugs, front bank center cylinder, nice and flat plug.
So far I've acquired a set of bugzuki plates for porting a 3L whenever I finally find one. Not sure what one im wanting to go with, as I've not go too much time to put into the swap as Im without a car and need to get this thing moving again. Picked up a new harness from Sam, and just got this spare set of E1s today from a guy on CraigsList.
So hopefully here soon within the next week or so Ill be able to start updating more, but time and money are of the biggest concern. So many more options for these swaps nowadays than hell almost 10 years ago that I was here and they were rare.
