You're gonna love the swap. I didn't realize you have a V6. Also there are supposed to be 4 studs. you can take 2 out of your A/T.

Thanks, can't wait! Just need a clutch, axle, and starter plate for the swap but I'm out of money right now, lol.

When you need the passenger side intermediate axle let me know if you need it. I have one for the manual trans.

Nice going with the 5spd swap! You'll love it

[galant108]

So I picked up a 5 speed transmission:



Is there suppose to be two or four studs?

Damn bro! Moving on up quick. Lol I decided to just get cosmetics this tax return. If I have enough we'll see if I can atleast get some parts for a swap. Good luck man. Maybe see if you wanna help me with my swap when I actually do it ten years from now. Saw you drive by near Hy Vee. Looking good. Hid's?

Thanks, yea HIDs, I could probably help you out. Did you get your bumper painted?

[Galantman03]

^to answer your question, yes there is supposed to be four studs on the tranny for the mount to bolt to. Keep it up!

Nope. Idk I want to try to get rims and a visor soon. But I want to swap it also. The bumper might have to wait. But my father in law has a paint gun so I might just see how well I do my self lol

I miss HyVee :(

Ha I don't. I wasted 4 years of my life working there lol. Did you work at one?

[Guzm4n]

My car had been turning off again, I checked the throttle body and it's pretty clean. It started turning off after I replaced my eBay relay harness with one from TRS. My stereo was set to Loud: On (which give the songs a lil bit more bass), so I switched it off and the car stopped dying every time I stopped. My dad says it could be something with the alternator. But couldn't it also be my battery?

[Guzm4n]

Painted my valve cover, added a spectre filter to get rid of the stock air filter box, also painted the 6g74 intake manifold and installed it:

Ever get the electrical issue sorted out?

[Skyforger]

I really like what you did with the engine bay. Tying together the exterior perfectly, just finish off that intake.

Yup, I wasn't getting good ground but now it's fixed.

I'm thinking about getting an Injen intake later on, don't really like how big the spectre filter is but it's the only one the store had that fitted the adapter. I also don't like how the stock intake pipe looks, lol!

[Skyforger]

I know I have the 4G64, but the AEM intake is excellent. IIRC, I think there's one for your 6G72 too.

[Guzm4n]

Yea there is, but I read that the AEM one rubs against the battery if you have the 6g74 intake manifold but the Injen one doesn't.

[Skyforger]

The battery rub is an easy fix, they make padded battery shrouds. I know with GMs, they come with one (maybe score one from a boneyard) and the ones with 75 series batteries are similar in size the ones Galants have.
