It all started when my wife's '93 SE Bonneville engine blew for the second time. I picked up a '93 SSEi to use as a donor vehicle for it.
I had been rolling around in this:
Then this happened when somebody ran a stop sign without looking:
So I was out of a car, but I still had the SSEi:
So I got to work, using the L67 from the LeSabre.
Low oil pressure brought about a rebuild, with a cam:

Then came the 3.25" modular pulley for the SC. A lot of other random work happened too.

Big brakes and rear disc conversion. Dual piston aluminum calipers up front, 12" rotors, 10" rotors rear (used to be the front rotor size). This also includes KYB AGXs in the front and a 3/4" drop, no change to rear height:
And F40 swap in progress because I make too much power for a 4t65e:
Also in the works:
I'm sure I'm missing a few details here and there. But I've been at it for almost a year now. The F40 swap is nearing completion, just waiting on the custom axle center shafts, and putting all the bits back together. The plan is to have it done for the Intense 3800 meet this year.
