    Lets play identify this shifter!!

    i dont think its a sho shifter, or any front wheel drive vehicle. looks like it is for a trans where the shifter goes in the top of it. front wheel drives (including sho's) use cables from the shifter to the trans. this one looks like the end of it has had an oil bath for a while

    Knocking 92 MTX

    Its a cheap experiment. If it goes again, ill just do a 3.2 swap or drop another 3.0 in.

    Knocking 92 MTX

    thats what i thought. when i get the time im gonna take the oil pan off and check em. if there is one (or more) spun, how picky is this engine with replacing just the bearings as long as the journals and rods aren't messed up?

    cam chains are good. the previous owner had the intake and valve covers off cause he thought he could fix it. he gave up after it was apart.
