Motor swap carnage
So steve and I got into the seccond swap tonight. just a Z6 into a Del sol.
The kid said that he had a spun bearing. He didn't know anything about the history of the car. he just said that it wouldn't start, he changed oil and plugs and it started up with the knock.
we changed the oil and found metal in the drained oil, so we were hoping for something good when we pulled the pan.
This is what we found.

Re: Motor swap carnage
he said that he knew there was "something" wrong with it.
He bought it without looking under the hood b/c the latch was broken. I don't know what he payed for it, but I hope not much.
The body looked okay, but the engine bay looked like it was a flood vehicle. corosion over everything, and everything was rusted to hell.

Re: Motor swap carnage
Yankd and my old Z6 put in it. That was just the motor that we pulled out.
There where no signs of a turbo or notrous kit on the car. So I am not sure what the deal was.
He said that he had an oil light and a CEL. The oil thing was obviously caused by the girdle being destroyed. The hole in the block was right behind the PS pump, so it was hard to see on the initial inspection.
