    okay im gonna try and answer everyone...first, rules? haha rule one is no motor swaps so obviously rules dont matter to me...because that rule though the2 car picks someone requested wont look pretty. to hide the swap i removed the fenders and bumpers from the sho and did my best to mold them...

    timing belt

    i kept the 3.2 motor the same. i didnt swap out any of the cams and the block is still using the 3.2 tensioner and belt. i just made a new system for running the water pump and alternator. and kept the 3.2 the same.

    timing belt

    i triple checked the belt and it was correct...this belt and motor are part of a 3.0 to 3.2 conversion. motor still fires incorrectly...seems like massive mech timing problem. i repeat the belt is on 100% correct. so far installed two different 3.0 wiring harnesses, two cam sensors, two crank...

    timing belt

    put a new timing belt in and had the crank move while installation. i set the dots on the cam gears to line up with the mark in the cover and set the crank to where the mark on the balancer lined up with the "0" mark on the cover....after this tried to start the car and its way way out of...
