    Thanks, that's what it is lol. Imagine removing one engine and having a lot of pictures and notes and installing something totally different. Sometimes logic kicks in but sometimes logic takes a break.

    Oh, the guy i got the engine and parts from painted everything with marine awlgrip paint and that's why that part is shiny. The engine is green and black shiny as well.

    More questions coming in. In the box i was given, i found this part which i beleive is a cover for the exhaust section but i cannot figure out where it goes. I checked the Parts TM and i can't find it. Any ideas?

    Now another question. I live in south Florida and the coldest it gets here is on the 50's for a couple of days. I am planni g to remove the heater core and related to gain some sapce. Is this too crazy of an idea? It will decrease the value of my truck immensely?

    Those saab were nice. I had a 2004 93 and loved it. Passed it down to my cousin who completely blew it.

    I just bought it at my local auto zone. It worked oerfect. I bent the metal lips a bit to fit it inside the turbo outlet portion and the conic part to the exhaust. Could not be better.

    Does anybody know of a cross reference number for a lift pump from napa or any other retailer. I guess i punctured my pump while mounting the engine.

    At $8.00 yes, at $30.00 a little pricy.

    It usually is like that but, with those prices and how many thing we have to do/upgrade on these trucks, Is better to save a couple of bucks whenever possible.

    Yeah, they have lost total respect for our money jajaja. I might replace the ones i used in the future, at least the rear ones as they look funny on the truck not matching the original mounts.

    So i will assume the rectangles are for the hood lift.

    Good to know. Seems good material. 👍

    Is this 6.5 a lost cause?

    Look at my post. My truck also sat for years after rebuild. Replaced IP and started and suddenly a exhaust valve got stuck open and destroyed a cylinder turning the block garbage. If i were you i would rebuild or buy another running motor knowing now how it is inside. Good luck whichever way you go.

    I bought 12 hockey pucks. Works perfect. Might change it in the future as does not match the size of the original body mount. I also thought about making it out of starboard. As of now it works.

    2" lift on the body. I also have to drop the fuel tank. Yes, i asked him how much he wanted but never got an answer back. I would like to install a new harness as it would give me piece of mind and honestly the NA harmess looks new and it would be a crime to chop it up.
