how long does it take

he wants to know how long an engine swap takes.

i was goin to swap my other trans in but i was thinkin of yanking the other motor to and swaping it

He has two transmissions and two engines.

im eventually doing it anyways but just a thought for the weekend before i start theyre escort gts mines a 94w/160k the parts cars a 93 with 115k that i gotta put a timing belt in

He's going to eventually do it anyway, so he wants to know. His current car is a 94 w/ 160k miles and the one he wants to swap with is a 93 w/ 115k miles.

by the way i do know what im doing ive been working at a shop for a couple yrs now ive swaped a few 2.8s and 3.1s a 3000gt motor and some others i just wanna know from someone whos done it theyre identical cars except the year

He knows what he's doing. He's swapped (i'm assuming) Cavalier 2.8s and 3.1s and 3000gt engines.

I know he didn't use periods. but the more you read it the more it makes sense :wink:

hey im sorry i was in a rush. but whats up with the time?

rellimpk · Jun 9, 2003

Punctuation is your friend!!! Sorry, I'm in a wierd mood today.

92gt5spd · Jun 9, 2003

6 hours for just the tranny...i'd say about 15 hours for the engine and tranny. note, thats just got it installed, gettin it to run right might take a lil longer.

yunvmyegt · Jun 9, 2003

your kidding right ive done clutchs in these things in 3 hours. the motor doesnt have that much to unhook so i dunno

92gt5spd · Jun 9, 2003

with a clutch...you dont actually have to drop out the tranny....i'm talking full swap...ESPECIALLY to make sure you did it right..i take a little time to make sure everything is aligned...connected right and all....

and yes, engine has a decent amount...You are alos working with rusted bolts....aka exhaust manifold.....making sure everything is unhooked, draining oil....coolant....then adding it all again makin sure everything...who wants to do a quick swap then find out somethig is f****d up....so no IM not kidding

Isn't that siragan that says that about Escorts? 95 doesn't have the money to consider another car anyway. but siragan sorta does. he owns two...which also gives him the right to talk crap about Escorts. Anyway, I think we're all just a little bit childish at some point on here. I know I can be pretty damn stupid...most...of the time :lol: :wink:

95EsortSittinLo · Jun 10, 2003

Its funny how morons dont get the facts before they go into flipmode. :lol: :lol:

I notice he also said freaking instead of fu**ing huh i thought someone was a rebel and didnt care about the rules

92gt5spd · Jun 10, 2003

"its funny how morons dont get the facts before they go into flip mode"

yeh thast you too buddy... i never said i didnt care about rules...i merely said "f*ed" up because it wasnt derrogatory toward anyone and it was a better word...

my whollle argument was this...your sarcasm for something you cannot controll...you arent a mod so dont act like it, if someone is gonna yell at me, i'd like it to be a mod...

**james, i was referring to the topic about the kid who had probs w/ his scort and someone said "for that much money you can buy another gt"...i said that was stupid because a car is your car....then sittinlow chimed in about ertd or w/e it is and said ppl like that were the reason he quit going....then a few topics later he kept draggin it on answering ppl's probs w/ "might as well buy another gt"

95EsortSittinLo · Jun 10, 2003

OMG your are the biggest asshole i have ever talked to i agrred with you on that omg whatever talk all your doo doo little kid stuff im not gonna click this post ever again...

wow nice to see mommie let the kiddies have the puter for a little bit.

92: please try to keep the swearing down. It is one of the new rules. I'm not gonna ban people for sliping up now and then but I do ask you try to keep it down.

95: he's right your not a mod and don't need to be doing the whole "ohhh I'm gonna tell on yyyooouuuuuu" thing. IT only pisses people off. also with the whole addresses comment your are getting offly close to what got you in trouble before.

and in closing how does any of this even remotly help this dude with his engine swap!?!? if you two have a problem with each other take it to PM land.
