today i got my VE motor in fits up pretty nicely.... i was very curious and put the y-pipe up to the VE (i have a VG y-pipe) AND IT FIT!!!!!! just a litle gap between the y-pipe and the manifold.....but when you tighten the nuts up... it seems pretty flush with the maifold........ would this work??????? i mean i dont know why it wouldnt... but ya never know... if it does.. it woudl save me tons of money that i dont have.......why wouldnt it fit?????

 

I think the difference is where it meets the converter, but I may be totally wrong.
Heck I for one would try

 

k ill give it a try and see..... if it works until i can get a new one.. then yay!

 

dude, you REALLY need to take pics of this work. go borrow one from best buy or something...

 

well the motor is already in the car... bolted up nicely..... now is the hard part.. the wiring.......what fun!

 

hey freak what is the production date of your car?

you know you need a VE cluster now to complete the transformation ( which I happen to have for sale)

 

i htink the production date was 7/90 or somethign like that....ohh and i already got a VE guage cluster

 

if you would have had a 6/91 production date then you could have claimed to have the earliest known VE

 

but i do have the earliest known VE max well at least when i get it all wired up and running.... if it dont run.. i am parting it the F*CK OUT

 

Dibs on the steering wheel..

 

he he.. i hope it works.. there arent many cheap VE5's around me......when i get older i wantto tell my kids that i did a motor swap..... not try and fail... so wish me luck... ill probably be done right before x-mas or right after...i really dont feel like parting out.. but if it dont work i am gonna.........hey i have an idea!!!! you guys can fly out and wire it for me!!!!!!! ill give you my freindship!!!!!! because im kinda broke right now

 

as long as you have some patience, you'll do just fine.

 

trying to do a simple rebuild myself, and having a hell of a time with it I couldnt imagine trying to put something different in there

 

oh its been fun so far.. pics tomorrow!!!
