    Scored an '89 HO, 30 over, with a Probe main girdle, polished rods, KB flat tops (with 2 valve reliefs), ARP wavelocs and a stock crank. Paid $725 for it from a co-member of a club, it was machined fully balanced and run for a couple of hours before he shut it down and decided on a 39x for his fairmont.

    This means I WILL be doing the 6 to 8 swap over spring break, I am excited.

    Do you need anything to do your swap? V8 mounting brackets, etc.?

    I parted out two v8 cars, so no, I shouldn't need anything except the flywheel and whatnot.

    Alan, I have E7TE's that have a basic valve job on them, I'm having them milled down for 9:5:1 comp, with screw in studs, roller rockers, etc.
