Need some DOHC Parts....

[lkurek]

Well, the motor swap is progressing....although some of my friends are questioning my sanity. I think some people on this board are too

In any case.....I am dropping a 96 DOHC motor (with a 97 dress) into my 95 Lumina that had a 3100. Whew!

Anyhow, I have upgraded the harness and PCM, got all the power steering and heater lines, and all the other good stuff. I also have bought a new 4T65E trans to go along with the 97 setup....

So, now, before I drop this puppy in....I need two more parts that I am having a hell of a time finding. I'd post this in the FS section, but it is pretty DOHC specific....

I need these things.....any help appreciated:

- Downpipe from a 96 or 97. I need the pipe from the manifold to the cat.....no cat needed. Apparently this part is different than the 3100 one....

- Transmission dipstick/tube. Yeah, who knew. The tube from my 3100 runs right through where the exhaust outlet is on the DOHC motor.

Sigh....stupid little parts, but I need them to finish this up. Any help REALLY REALLY appreciated!

Thanks!

a little help for you, the downpipe for all the dohc's will work but you'd just have to have a bung installed for the downstream 02 sensor.

Thanks! I guess let me amend this.....I need a DOHC downpipe Anybody have a spare they can part with? I'm ditching the rear O2, so I don't have to sweat the bung.... Actually, I just need the headpipe before the cat....so even better. Anyone have an old one laying around? Even if it was cut out of a car.... ???

There called O2 emulators I think. It's a little device you plug into the harness and it makes the PCM think that the O2 is reading all good.

Something like this, but I have no clue if this will work.

For forty dollars, you could install a REAL O2 sensor.

this would be true if all converters were created equal...

Cant realy tell by the pics but the bolt patern is way dif. 96 on the left 97 on the right.

[lkurek]

Soooo......any chance you would be willing to sell me that 96 downpipe? I couldnt find a 96/97 in the boneyard.....so I hacked one off a 95. It *looks* like it might work, but after looking at that 96 one you have....Im not so sure...

If I ask nice...pretty please????
