I need the piece on the frame rail actually not the fuel pump itself.

Installed some new parts over the past week. I bought an Alpine headunit off a friend for $20 and got a deal on some door speakers. Also received my Booger shifter bushings in the mail. Glad I installed those because of the one picture I will link.

^ They had this on the transmission side. I'm surprised my pins held up!

That's why we do all the cheap upgrades first: 3.0L intake, dual outlet (dohc) muffler, atx tb and so on. Try to find a magnum cam for sale as well. Find a cheap head and port and polish yourself.

I have decided I'm not going to do the SRT swap and I want to stay with the SOHC. So what I am planning on doing is just getting my factory motor running smooth with no mods and buying another motor and transmission from the local pick-a-part. He said I can have both parts for $300. From there I'm gonna disassemble everything and have the block sleeved and build it like crazy.

Just buy the engine, you need the tranny with it. Any 95-2000 tranny will bolt up to a 95-99 engine.

I plan on doing a lot of work over the winter, plus a friend is helping me get a better job in October so money should come a little easier than. Almost all my parts I'm planning on ordering are coming from MP. I just want another motor and trans so I can build both to handle whatever power the motor can make lol.

The stock tranny can hold most motors as long as they aren't crazy built. What you may want to upgrade for sure is the clutch.
