Default So I went back to stock!!! Kind of?!?! Check it out...

So after going through the 2 motors in less than 3 months I decided I would go back to stock. Well sort of...

Tomorrow we will be swapping the harness and doing all the electrical, I will also be swapping in the steering wheel, leather wrapped dash, leather center console, info mirror, and cluster.

THERE ARE NO PARTS FROM THE GT500 FOR SALE!!!

Here is the results:

First motor was a clogged cat.

Second motor was a bad oil pump. Spun the rod bearings. Could have been re-machined but I didn't want to deal with it.
