you can get them uncoated,if he doesnt live or drive in the snow belt..pick up just the headers for $200,and modify your stock y..

Uncoated mild steel headers are not a good idea ANYWHERE in the US - they'll rust out in no time from the sheer heat alone.

From personal experience. Don't put the stock trans back in...you are totally f ing yourself and will have to pull it again.

From what Weargle has said, he's going to be driving this car daily, with very little abuse. Point A to Point B driving will not need a rebuilt/upgraded transmission, assuming his trans was still in good shape before the swap.

Not cracking the trans to even INSPECT the synchros and diff is ludicrous, regardless.

I've already had the pleasure of retrieving a broken bolt from my transmission. I also have a spare MTX-75 that will be receiving a Torsen sometime next summer/fall.

Yeah, and that means that it will happen to every Contour drive on earth. You post some of the most general things that have happened to YOU, and act as if it's gospil. So I've snapped probably 3 roll resistor bolts, does that mean it happens to everyone? Had the engine not blown in Weargle's car, I'm sure he'd be driving with the tranny as-is right now, and he'd be fine.
