Motor Part Out

[RadRacer]

Well, this weekend I picked up my new motor and was wondering if you guys needed anything off my old 3.8? The heads may be OK, but you're definitely going to need new valves. Pistons are gone; might be able to save a few if you need them, but not a whole set. We went through the entire motor with all new bearings, piston rings, cleaned and balanced everything, had the heads cleaned up and a valve job done. Then I didn't get my cam gear on right and it all went boom. I have stock manifolds from a 99 Camaro. I also have an extra A/C compressor from the spare I bought, but the other accessories are going on the new motor. Basically, everything should be there, except pistons, UIM, and accessories. Crank might be usable; it's brand new .010 under with no miles on it, but with how my valves were hitting the pistons, I'm almost sure my rods are bent, so the crank is questionable ATM. I'll double check the condition of anything you're interested in, but are you guys wanting anything off my old one before we junk it? You could probably even reuse the block if you cleaned it up good.

Re: Motor Part Out

how many miles were on that used motor?

Re: Motor Part Out

Got a spare 98 down throttle body?

Re: Motor Part Out

the exhaust manifolds, are they the tubular kind? if so, send me a pm with price.

I believe so. They're definitely not the log kind that were on my 97. How's $50 shipped sound? (not entirely sure on shipping cost)

how many miles were on that used motor?

IIRC, the motor was about to rollover 104K when it spun a bearing. My dad and I pulled it all apart, had the heads gone through, rods balanced, checked for straightness, resized .010 for the new crank, etc etc. Put ~$1100 into rebuilding it; then didn't get the cam gear lined up and messed the whole thing up. The rods probably are bent, but there's a possibility the crank is ok. Heads are OK if you don't mind putting new rockers, springs, valves in them. Or did you mean the one I just picked up? It has 25K on it, but I plan on swapping it into the car. What are you looking for?

Nope, sorry.

Re: Motor Part Out

Cool, I was wanting to know how many miles the A/C Compressor has from the spare...

Re: Motor Part Out

what ya want for that intake mani? I assume the 98-02 upper will mount the 97 lower right?

you have a throttle body to go along with that, or is t hat something that isnt going to be parted out?

I don't have an extra upper intake, just the lower. Lowers should be the same from 95-02, IIRC.

I should have one, but I'll have to double check. Not too sure how much one of them go for, so I'll have to do some pricing and get back with you.

Re: Motor Part Out

I'm heading out of town in a few minutes. Sorry if I didn't get back with anyone, but I won't be able to do anymore until I return Sunday afternoon.

Re: Motor Part Out

Would you happen to have the fuel rail? I need a 95-99 rail and injectors (round fat style)

[RadRacer]

Re: Motor Part Out

No fuel rail. Motor should be coming out next weekend, so everything will be available then. ATM I'm just trying to do the simple stuff I can pull off the spare, or easy to reach stuff on the blown one.

Re: Motor Part Out

Do you happen to have the exhaust manifold bolts or ya reusing? I can use both the actual head mount bolts and the ones for the y pipe that thread inot donut area. I broke a couple removing mine and need a couple.

Re: Motor Part Out

I have the stock bolts manifold, but I don't think they're reusable, or if you'd want to. If you buy a set of headers, they'll come with bolts. Or, go with the Grade 8 locking ones and save the hassle of re-tightening the fist few weeks.
