Ok I might get heat for this and Ive been away from the forum for sometime, That said I am loving these 6G75 swaps and I have to ask because it hasnt been mentioned and I might just be way overthinking this. I keep pondering about the ignition and firing sequence. Do the 72,74, and 75 have the same firing order?
They do. And the distributor is a direct fit replacement for the individual coils found originally on the 6G75.
Does the clutch/flywheel spec change from one engine to the other? Do you need a 75 specific clutch kit and flywheel or are all 6g7*'s again interchangable for this?
You can still use the 6g72 flywheel and clutch. Just make sure you upgrade to a stage 2 clutch to handle the increased torque load. Anything higher than that and you WILL blow your differential, unless you have a Wavetrac or Quaife.

Energy engine mount inserts arrived today. Solid urethane, no relief holes, exactly what I've been waiting for. The included cross member bushings are a nice addition. These should be in the car Saturday to cure my Prothane woes.
Oh, they're still red, I thought Energy's only came in black for some reason. You know red mounts give you that extra 50 HP lol!
They're available in red or black. I chose red so they would still match my 2 Prothane bushings that are staying. Although they won't give me the extra 50hp you speak of (as a joke I know), there will be an update here soon that should be capable of that type of increase.
I'm on pins and needlesQuote:

Stickers! They ALWAYS add 50hp!Quote:

no3/ meth kit?
Keith, I did. They freshened up the front end quite a bit. Along with new I/O tie rod ends and ball joints, the improvement up front makes the car feel like new.
Greg, it's the TGC sticker making all the difference!
Jared, nitrous may be a last ditch effort after what I have planned if I do decide on more power. I'll keep the thread posted as things come into motion. The parts probably wont be installed until Winter/Spring, but I can drool over them a few months.
And while at it, here's a little update. The weekend at Powercruise proved to be an abusive one.
Here's the front Prothane mount.

And the rear.

Upon removal, they are squashed and torn.

The solution. Energy Suspension, Engine mount inserts. Solid urethane, and another successful day at the Silvertune Garage.

Bribes are accepted. /pm for details.
whats the part number for the support bushings?
I'm not sure that Energy sells them individually. Mine came with the front and rear motor mount inserts as a kit.
P/n 2476
Found some pictures on a memory card from Powercruise this past Summer. These will have to do until the real parts gathering takes place soon.
About to let it rip down the main straightaway.

Nice pics, this one's my favorite because all you see is a bunch of muscle cars & then in the middle, a sleeper Galant

So awesome seeing a galant in that group of classic cars / muscle cars. They probably laugh then on the track are saying "Damn, not bad!" lol.
I didn't realize there were prothane support bushings available. I need replace an engine mount anyway, might look for a kit.
Is this at the MAP Proving Grounds? Looks tight!
Gonna need a set of valve stems sometime soon Matt. Once I'm on winter break here I'm gonna go ham on a few projects and you happen to be on the list.
Best looking car out of the three imo, not even being biased lol
Yeah I look wayyy out of place there.Quote:

I'm hoping coilovers will help solve that problem for next year.Quote:

It's actually at Powercruise. Same track, different weekend-long event. It's still a blast though.Quote:

They sometimes fall out. Otherwise they're barely held in and can be pulled off by hand.
Awesome pictures.. Every time I see this I can't help but smile.. Nothing better than proving people wrong with our cars lol
Thanks Danny! I must say its been a fun ride so far, being able to hold my own in what's "just a Galant" to most people. Next year will only be better.
Lol yeah the only pic that loaded at the time for me was the one with the lx cars. Now that I see the others, I would hand over my keys for the red vette. Other wise I'd still prefer your car regardless of the others power. I kinda prefer new school muscle over old school in looks, but they're all clean in there own right.
Matt, where have you been hiding?
The car has been 2.5 hours away up north for the winter. It'll come back soon though. Once I have a garage, its on!
Excuses, excuses. It's only an hour and half away for me. Want me to go work on it? I can't guarantee I wont put any stickerz or sweet racing stripes on it though.
I was hoping you could install the neon underglow for me
Funny story there...I actually have some in my garage. Had it installed the first summer I owned my car, back when I was a dumass ricer.
It's red, too.
Got bushings?
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u...pskitum0la.jpg
The entire rear suspension kit from Prothane. These will find their way onto the car when I get it home from storage soon, along with a fully refinished rear subframe.
After last night there is at least 4 feet of heavy snow in front of the garage right. It is as I've always said, glory is not given but earned.
Wholeheartedly agree, spent most of my morning shoveling since snowblower is down.Quote:

The snow removal required to get the car home this year will put last year to shame, but it will be worth it. We have a fun trip ahead of us.
Jared, yeah its the entire rear kit for a 2G. It comes with a few extra bushings that the 3G kit doesn't include.
