alright heres the deal. I have a 92 eclipse fwd 1.8 shitbox. i got a parts car for free a 94 talon complete dohc motor an 5 speed tranny. the reason i got it for free is no title, so cant strap a nice turbo to that and get her on the road. now heres my options, i can rip the motor out of the talon build the shit out of it and put it in the eclipse, or i can get a 91 laser with a dohc that runs but got a junk auto tranny. i can swap trannys and build the shit out of the laser motor and keep the eclipse as a daily, which has been very reliable except the minor mishap of it spnning a rod bearing 2 hours away from home, what do you guys think i should do? |

find a winter beater of of a grandma somewhere who will practically give you the car for being a sweet careing young man. once u get that we'll do the swap. it won't take long considering you have everything already we just need to make sure we got a good place to do it and a couple days. we'll also take pictures of the 2.0 engine bay so we have a reference. it won't take a couple days but we both have to work so it just may. either way get off your ass and do somethin....(o;' |

While you got the engine out, replace ALL OF THE BELTS, the water pump, the timing belt tensioner and pully, and if you have the skill/tools, try to replace the gaskets to, will save you time in the long run |

Why don't you part both out and get a real 1st gen... Just a more logical suggestion, but your not listening, you posted this same idea 2 times I believe. Check out the better dsm forums on the web, they'll reaffirm the fact that DSM + motor swaps = gh3y. |
