god, where to start. this car has had its ups and downs. this will now be motor number 3 that ive had installed during my ownership.
This car has a crazy history, I bought this car from a local guy a long while ago and immediately fell in love with it, shortly afterwards, the motor blew up in it. A local guy around the Detroit area told me that he can throw a 3L in it. Long story short, he got a bad motor with all kinds of sludge build up in it, I was lied to about the progress of the install from day one, he ripped the old motor out in a god aweful way, my car's parts were all over his yard, my new engine was sitting in the driveway uncovered in the rain, I had to get my car away from this guy... Cue Bagged.
I needed the car running and at this point I had run across bagged. He had a 2.5L motor sitting in his garage that he sold to me and installed for a great price which got me rolling again. After this point I was kind of tired of the whole situation I sold the car for a decent price to some kid. Fast forward a few months, this car shows back up in bagged's driveway with some crazy rod knock. Turns out the kid ran the car with little to no oil in it after he screwed up his oil change and didn't properly seat the oil filter, so bagged bought the car back from the kid where it sat in his back yard for a couple of months. I saw the car sitting in the back yard and had missed it since the day I sold it to the kid, so I asked to buy it back from bagged.
At this same time bagged had found a black parts SVT that was in a front ender with low mileage, so him and I went in on buying the parts car, I got the engine and a few other odds and ends and he took whatever he wanted from the parts car, he threw the 2.5L from the wrecked car back into my SVT and I drove the car home.
The car has been sitting at my house for months, I had put some new wheels on it and a few other custom parts and now bagged is doing a bunch of 3L installs and I decided its time to get one in my SVT, so back to bagged's house it goes, and that is where it sits right now...
On to the pictures...
Original 3L motor that was filled with sludge (bagged refused to use this motor, he threw it away)
The first motor bagged put in:
bagged installing the motor barefoot due to his horrible sunburns:
The 2nd 2.5L motor that he did for me he did so fast that I never had a chance to take photos, I dont know if he took any himself, I cant find them in his photobucket. On to the most recent pics, bagged took these when him and AliasJerk picked up the car from my house, im away on business right now.
after meeting this guy and having him do all of these motors, bagged quickly turned into a close friend, and eventually I considered him to be one of my best friends, he always comes through for me, and always takes care of my car.
More pics to come, bagged will be throwing in pictures of progress of the 3L install.
