uhhh... I actually need to talk to Jason about it.

It would be the engine/trans/turbo. No harness, no ECU if we did sell it. I don't know what we are doing w/ it.

Oh my

I know its late now, but i have bhg ge sitting down here, with no smoking and definetly no knock. Its a perfect candidate for a turbo rebuild or turboing, i'd be practically willing to give it away if you want it.

If you're giving it away, I'd might have to come down and take it off your hands....a I6 motor would be nice in my T100.

Also, my bright engineer friend suggested to me that it would be a good time to lower the front sub frame and over haul it with a new steering rack and bushings...he also suggests mounting the motor and tranny to the front sub frame and lower the body over the sub frame like you supposively would on classic cars. Any body used this method before?

lawlz. Steering rack is a relatively easy job w/ the engine in the car. This is one of the few things Toyota thought through. Lots of extensions and a little work to get the steering knuckle off (2x4 and a hammer works for me 99% of the time). But, if it needs a new one, why not?

*edit*
Advance has a lifetime warranty one for just baout what I got qouted for a used one....

This piece on the road yet?

I would recommend dropping the engine/trans into the car in one piece. I've done it in everything from Supras to Civics... but not in Windstars... never in a windstar.
