SO....back in 2007 My family and I went to go pick up x-mas trees. Dad took his Olds 88 and at the time I was cursed with a 2005 Chevy Equinox, I hated it then and I still think it's a POS today...everything but the motor!
Anyway, we arrived in my drive to a bad rod knock in the Olds, go figure 3.8. So over the years it sat and then I had a wild hair about doing a 4.0L Aurora swap to it. I got the motor, trans, computers, etc... Started fabricating mounts....
But, then my shop picked up and time fell short.
We also needed an extra car...NOW!
So, we popped the 4.0 back out and converted her back to stock. Keep in mind we don't always do stuff like this, and what we did ain't much, it was just fun.
After working on everybody else's POS being able to just relax, make something look good, and enjoy the hobby was a nice change of pace. Something I don't get to do that often and something I always look forward to doing with my Dad. I'm 36 and he's 64. But, don't let the age fool you! He can still learn the modern cars, which he does very well, and is still teaching me a thing or two! I just wanted to share. Enjoy.
BTW, the strut towers and engine bay will be gold with black accent, I'll post pics on that too. OH! and we decided to put the 4.0L in the SHO with a stick, just to erk the Ford guys!
