WTB 1997 GLT Turbo Engine in/near WA

The engine in the 97 GLT (turbo) that we bought looks like it may be a bit more of a hassle than its worth to fix, so I may just drop a donor in it and call it good. Soooooooo. Who's got something for me, preferable in WA state. Not entirely sure what will fit, but if you've got a possible ...

Pull engine without pulling tranny?

I keep reading that it may be possible to pull the engine from the top without taking it out with the tranny from the bottom. Has anyone here actually done it, and is it outlined anywhere? I already have the intake, exhaust manifold, and head off and the engine has to come out. There has to be an ...

Re: Lost HG on 97 850 GLT. Head milling and associated quest

Yup, dip sh!t mechanic that put it back together left a head bolt out. It is the #2 bolt. The one on the ...

It initially appeared to be just moist with coolant, which i knew was bad in the first place. But when I pulled over it was spewing out of the same spot. Again, thanks for ...

Lost HG on 97 850 GLT. Head milling and associated questions

Let me begin, well from the beginning. I sold my 80 244 and decided to look for a reliable wagon for the wife to tote the kids around in. We tracked down a decent shape 180K 1997 850GLT for sale for a reasonable price. It ran and drove fantastically well. The previous owner replaced two exhaust ...
