: I'll have to check about the Torsion Bar when I get the car next week. : I'm not sure why the colons keep apearing, I'm not doing it on purpose. : : It's the spring that makes the trunk lid go up when you turn the key. New cars use those nitrogen-charged "air springs"... : : P.S. -Quit putting dots (:) in front of all your posts.. : : : : : :What's a Torsion bar? : : : : I could use the torsion bar for the trunk lid (it's a '77-right?) But I wouldn't want you to pull it unless you know what your doing (don't want anyone getting hurt)... : : : : : : : : :You're in luck, the parts car I'm buying is indeed brown. If you send me a check for : : : : : shipping, I can mail them to you. I am getting the car Monday, (17 Aug 98) and will be : : : : : pretty busy and distracted with it for at least a week, so why don't you email me and : : : : : remind me to pull them for you sometime next week. I'm so psyched about my new : : : : : engine that I'm afraid that I'll forget with everything else that is going on. : : : : : My email is: : : : : : Shadeseeker@rocketmail.com : : : : : I don't think you should have to swap the tranny out. By the way, what color is the interior? I'm looking for two sunvisors for my '72 with brown interior. I live near Sacramento so shipping probably wouldn't be too bad. : : : : : : Thanks. : : : : : : : : : : : : : As I was researching what it would take to swap a v8 for my six, I discovered how in depth an operation it was. I was told I would also have to change the radiator, tranny, exhaust system, power steering brackets and the power steering linkage. I began to reconsider the swap until HUZZAH! I ran into a guy with a 77 Mav 4door with a 302. It looks like $#!T, but runs well. I bought it for $500, and am now ready to swap. : : : : : : : My questions are: : : : : : : : 1) Is there any other parts I should pull? Front springs? Rear End? etc. : : : : : : : 2)Are there any differences between 74 and 77 that will cause me problems? : : : : : : : 3)It has a special carb. called a "Ventuary", what's the word on those, good or bad? : : : : : : : 4) Does anyone want any parts from it before it finds its home at the junkyard (Yes, the dash pad is cracked)? I live in Eureka, at the very northern tip of California, so shipping may be expensive.
