Again you're consolidating all of my 3.4s into one. I have nearly 10 grand into my black 88GT and its proposed DOHC swap.
I have just over $2600 into this car, that is including the purchase of a drivable good condition 88GT 5-speed, with a DOHC motor,
Ok so if the car is "of a drivable condition" why the hell are you rigging up pieces for it unless it isn't so drivable? So now its a "proposed 10,000 dollar swap" ? Right here says differant
And please, if you'd done your research you'd know my swap isn't nicled and dimed together. It isn't done MTA style. I have over 10 grand into this, and the engine isn't even in the car yet.
Man this is to easy , well i'm tired, i'm out. ------------------ HARDCORE SBC CRONIE AND PROUD OF IT ! GOT TQ ?

ok so which one are you jerry rigging ? The one that runs or your mega dollar swap? Why do you have to fab parts for a swap that ALREADY RUNS ? Or can't you just not screw up anything you touch ?

You know a car can run without a cooling system, wiring laying all around, no exhaust, no intake, no serpentine belt, etc. The swap isn't finished, but it is running.
And what's jerry rigged about it? That piece. That's it, and I'll be taking that off in a few days to redo it anyways. What am I screwing up?

ROTFL, so when I make a manual boost controller its stupid and dangerous, but when you weld a dime onto your car its cool?
Dont get me wrong, good ingenuity, but you're always talking about how I didnt spend enough on this, or I should have bought this from here instead of making it for free. This is why I have 2 running fieros and a 3.8SC half done, because I dont throw $10k at one swap. You and donk316 and that idiot shawn need to learn, it doesnt matter how much money you throw at something, what matters is if it works. Spending 10k on one swap doesnt make it better or cooler.
And for the record, Aaron has repeatedly said that he wants to get banned from here, and tried damn hard for a while, until he got pretty close, then he got realy quiet. That and as I recall MTA ripped off a bunch of people before leaving here, so I would not have willingly assosciated myself with him.

It does if you spend it on the right thing. Spending it on a 3.4 DOHC surely doesn't though. $10K into a high-power and reliable northstar, or for a BMW V12 would certainly be better or cooler.

I'm confused. Are you telling us in advance you are going to exaggerate, lie, and steal?

LOL you mean to tell us you have no idea ? This and every other car forum even RFT. Just stop posting your getto rigged equipment and just go the f*ck away. ------------------ HARDCORE SBC CRONIE AND PROUD OF IT ! GOT TQ ?

What I was saying, its not the money its what you do with it. I would never spend 10k on a 3.4DOHC, I went turbo DOHC for the simple fact that it was cheap and easy. If I was going to spend money on it, I would have went with something that would make more for the $ without pushing it. If I wanted to spend 10k Id pick up a LT5 engine and put that in.

I JB welded the dime on, and it was a joke. It was there just to get the car running. Now that I've done that, I'm going to be redoing it in the next week anyways. My God, is your sense of humor that dry to not see that? It isn't good ingenuity, it's terrible. I didn't even think of the idea, would have never thought of it, and would never use it on my car for any amount of time longer than a few minutes.
Quote me once where I said I want to get banned from here. I have never said that, in fact I recall on many occasions saying the exact opposite. I think it is pretty obvious I do not want to rip people off, anyone that has had dealings with me can tell you this much.

The 3.4 DOHC has better heads than the N*, and is much smaller and easier to swap. I would also much rather have a N*, but unfortunately I am not ready to dive into the wiring it would require.

What's ghetto rigged on this swap? The coolant tube, and that was done that way on purpose as a joke. You can't seem to find much else that is. It is certainly better than how it was sold to me.

I didn't see this post until just now, and it looks like you've been banned, but anyway, I figured I would respond, just in case anyone else is considering the 3.4 over the N*, purely for size.
If you really would much rather have a N*, but think it's too big, you should be looking at the 3.5 Short*, instead of the 3.4 DOHC. The bottom end is much better off. As for the heads, the ones for the 3.4 aren't exactly better. It's obvious you're not going with a stock 3.4 setup, so comparing a non-stock 3.4 to a stock N* with 100K on the motor, is a bit silly. There's no way you're going to get more power/reliability out of a 3.4 DOHC over a N* with the same set of modifications to it. It's just not going to happen.
