Any Denver SHO owners willing to give a hand?

[5280SHO]

Well, with no bites on my 95 SHO project, I figure I might as well refresh the stock 3.0 MTX i took out of an 89 and drop it in.

Anyone able to help me refresh the motor for a few bucks, etc?

Cheers.....need this situation resolved.

Not close enough to lend a hand but if it's already out of the car and on an engine stand, it should be very easy to work on.

Yes its already on a stand. Just haven't ever replaced rod bearings on one of these before. I assume it should be straightforward...

Pretty much drop the oil pan, remove the windage tray and oil pickup and they should be right there. On an engine stand this will be really easy. In fact I would replace most or all of the seals while it's out and everything is so accessable.
