So got car up to work. I left one job in Aug and went back to Midas is used to work for. Had to start driving 66 Caprice back in September but it needs work .
So about month or less ago my boss picked up Trackef 4wd with rusty brake lines. I offered to replace lines/work on truck for a used engine from LKQ.
So Dec 4th i got to install my 69k mile , 2007 GP engine. That was Sunday and Tuesday Caprice blew water pump so started driving GP. So far only issue is cat efficiency code.
Fist tanm of good gas almkst 22 mpg but been doing some idling.
Car needs better rear tires and new front hub bearing to fix abs/ tcs.
And thing trans cooler line has slow leak. Figure i can swing $20 for that and do need to change motor mount. Couldnt believe local price was $65 and up when cheap ones from rockauto and other places are under $30.
But runs and drives, trying to get ahold of guy i was talking to about rest of parts i need to swap SC on and still neec to fire up DHP tuner to see if it works.
Alsk turns out car has had nee Monroe front strusts installed so previous owner did tty to keep it up.
Also need too find replacement console lid. And get interior cleaned good. But its 27 deg here so some mods are on hold.
