Hi, first post here. I flip cars for side cash, and occasionally i end up with a car that just isnt profitable to work with. This time im sitting on a 99 galant, with a questionable motor and lots of rotted rubber in the front. The body and interior are just too nice to send it off to rest in peace in a wrecking yard. My poor passport is getting long in the tooth, so i figure its time to build something for myself.
Digging around, ive learned that replacing the 72 with a 74 from a dimante is damn near a bolt in, as well as a 5 speed conversion.
Before i start ordering stuff, i have a couple of questions i would like to clear up.
Am i correct that i will need to use the 72 injectors on the 74 block?
How much of the bracketry will swap over to the 3.0 to the 3.5? i will be ordering the engine online rather than going to the boneyard, and i cant say for sure how much "stuff" will still be attached to the block. If there is more i need to grab, this would be the time to do it. things like cam covers...etc...
With the eclipse tranny, will i be needing cv shafts from a manual eclipse, or auto galant?
most of the other questions i have i have been finding on older how to's and stickies, vut some of the threads are 10 plus years old....
thanks
