my plans:
im gonna sell the hurst short throw ****er with the srt4 shift ****
sell the mopar performance pcm

install my taillights and clear side markers on my wifes neon...then take my new motor and put in her car as well.....im sure she will love that motor in a dohc auto

then im gonna take her motor and put it in the r/t.....its just a stock dohc with 105,000 miles on it...

after all this is done, im gonna sell it....completely stock besides the battery relocated to the trunk....

then im gonna try to find a 98-01 grand prix GT

The first time anything goes wrong on the Grand Prix you'll be shipping that piece of crap GM product down the road. I just changed a crank sensor on a 99 Grand Am (same platform as Grand Prix) and it was horrible, had to take the starter out, radiator fans and intake manifold just to change the crank sensor. because the starter snoutstuck out a 1/4 of an inch too far and the intake manifold hung down just a half inch too low. retards designed those GM cars. On top of that it wasn't even my car and soi got screwd big time on the labor and the car still doesn't run, now the pcm blew and the coil packs are bad as a result of the pcm blowing. if GM put as much effort into making a good car as they did making a bad car then they might have some good products.

I didn't realise how good i had it working on the Neon till i worked on 2 Grand Ams and a late90sMonte Carlo. Total crap cars.

Grand Prix?[>:] Come on spud, I suppose there is nothing wrong with them, but there are so many better cars than those. I thought you wanted a 90's impala SS? Was it the LT1 you were looking for? If thats the case, I would find yourself a nice F-body!! You've messed with neons all your life, why not open a new chapter? lol

thats what i have been thinking about as well....

right now its a toss up between a 94 impalla ss with the LT1 350, a 2001 grand prix GT, or a 2000 dakota v-6 4-door....
but it all depends on how much i can get out of my car...

i also decided not to do the motor swap....
im just gonna sell the car as it sits only thing im gonna take off of it is the mopar pcm (so i can sell it separately) and the stock r/t rims.....but it will come with some 2nd gen sxt rims that need tires...

if i could get $3,000 out of this car then i would be happy as hell...
car has 108,000 miles on it
motor has about 1700 miles on it
only thing wrong with the body is that the front fenders and the front bumper have some primer on them from a few minor fender benders...otherwise its in pretty good shape...
runs strong and its pretty fast for being N/A
power windows
shorty header
block bored .020 over and painted red with ceramic paint
.020 over HP keith black pistons
polished/balanced crank
crane #14 cams
crane valve springs
brian crower titanium valve spring retainers
ported head
ported intake manifold
homemade cold air intake w/new K&N air filter
megan UDP
catco high flow cat
clear side markers
prothane suspension inserts
KYB GR-2 struts
prothane motor mount inserts
hurst short throw shifter
real SRT-4 shift ****
mitsubishi eclipse dohc raised letter valve cover
booger shifter bushings
front and rear strut bars
new MLS headgasket
new water pump
new timing belt and idler pulley
new oil pan gasket
new valve cover gasket
batteryrelocated to trunk
coolant over flow tank moved to passenger side wheel well
EVAP canister removed
EGR remover
A/C removed
cruise control removed

and i think thats it
