Ok, read and tell me what to do guys...

[Jeff]

I just called a place in WV about a transmission. They can sell me the 5-speed transmission I need, with the cables, pulled, for $300. The are also allowing me the T2 turbo (best stock chrysler turbo, good to 30PSI) for $85. This would alow me to sell the mitsu Turbo and the one Rex sold me to try to make some of that back. Does this sound like a good deal? I'm thinking it is because my Grandfather has offered to drive me down to pick it up.

My other option so far is an offer I got on the <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.turbododge.com">www.turbododge.com</a><!-- w --> forums for the tranny and cables shipped from michigan for $360. No turbo.

[Mike]

do they guarantee the parts work?

$300 for a trans, god, I spent almost 3000

whoops! wrong car. :wink:

[Dave]

so you are essentially paying $25 and receiving the ability to inspect before purchase and get a turbo too. That sounds like a much better deal IMO.

[KPWSerpiente]

Uh...yeah? Even if the tranny needs a rebuild that sounds like a good deal.

[Feersty]

Sounds all gravy.

and you wonder why we buy cheap, slow cars :lol:

[Jeff]

Yeah, itÔÇÖs a deal. 90 day warranty but that doesnÔÇÖt matter...It won't be together by then. I am calling them back and reserving all the stuff tomorrow. I'm also gonna con them outta' the intermediate shaft for the equal length axels.

[KPWSerpiente]

How are they equal length axels if one has an intermediate shaft? Do they both?

-T

[Jeff]

To answer T's question the intermediate shaft serves as an extension of the transmission. It is perfectly strait and has a bearing in the middle attached to the block. This allows me to use two AUTOMATIC 89 Omni axels (driverÔÇÖs side) on both sides to eliminate torque steer.

UPDATE-
I called Tammy today (lol) and she said that itÔÇÖs all good. For $400 and a blown TBI head this is what I am gonna get-

1. 555 Manual Transmission
2. Daytona Shifter cables and shifter
3. 2.2L turbo head w/ Turbo 2 intake and Turbo 2 T3 Turbocharger attached
4. Intermediate Axel shaft
5. T2 injector wiring and Charge Air sensor

sounds awesome Jeff, keep us updated.

[Dave]

sweet deal y0!

[Jeff]

Did I mention the 555 was designed by Getrag

[.RJ]

Do eeeeeeeet!

[CaptainHenreh]

Wow holy shit! That's a great deal, dude!

Aren't you glad you didn't lay 2K on suspension bits?

[Jeff]

I got screwed, wrong tranny in the car. I drove 600 miles and used $75 in gas to get almost nothing. Did come back with a T2 turbo and head.

UPDATE!
I just bought another "parts" car to add to the list. A 1993 Plymouth Acclaim 4-dr (yes yes, I know). Anyways, it isn't turbo...and its a pos...BUT! It is a 2.5L COMMON BLOCK. So, all I have to do is install a oil return line, the rods I have comming, some new pistons, and axe the balance shafts and I have a T-2 2.5 torque makin' machine. Another bonus is it only cost $100 and I already have most of the parts sold, so I have actually made about $200+ off of the deal and I haven't even had it for 24 hrs. It is totally stripped and the engine is coming out tomorrow, thats what 1.5hrs and some air tools can get you. I will post pics soon!! Laugh all you want...I am...all the way to the turbo store.

[ScottyB]

haha your gutted dodges may outnumber Chan's E30's at this rate!

keep us updated.
