i always knew i could cound on you.

Oh no! Sorry to hear that Mike, are the V-8's an interfering motor?;) The motors are cheap and there are lots of them out there. The 6 speeds are a little harder to find but still can be found for a reasonable price.

I have been so busy with work I've had no time to stop by to read the current posts. But, I had to laugh today when I saw that Turg is still entertaining the group with his modern thinking modifications to that poor old car.

Cheers,

Jim

I'm going to see if I can budget a swap, the worrying bit is the re-coding for the manual setup. I foresee getting much deeper into this than I estimate on paper. That's how it always goes!

Put 1 1/4 wrench on it and smack it with a hammer towards the driver side

Maybe bro, I do have 195's. I took a wide turn I always take in 3rd gear around 45mph and it was about to lose traction.

well that's weird. i guess if they are cold they do that. however once they are warmed up. they are fantastic for relatively cheap street tires and grip pretty darn well.

Don't get me wrong, for 47 bucks a pop they are wonderful, they are smooth as fuck and seemed to handle very well on the fwy at all speeds. I will write a full review once I get an alignment and go to the canyons.

I have a friend that is doing the swap in the same car. Brian checked at the dealership and the re-coding can be done. I think that there are some other details to work out and it is not well documented. But it would be the perfect setup when finished. I hope you can at least get another 540 back into it and enjoy the torque for a while.

Cheers,

Jim
