[V8] 5spd V8 in marketplace, a few Q's

[32VQUATTRO]

Jeez Scott, got you panties in a bunch , do we? If your statement wasn't an
endorsement, then please clarify, cause it sure read like one. I didn't bad
mouth the car, just stated my opinion on its worth. Question. If you knew
Peter so long (implying your some of friend of something) why didn't you
build the car? The fact is Andrew built the car didn't he? Did he also build
another car on this list? A certain converted black 5 speed? One that a
certain lister when nuts tracking down the no reverse lights among other
things?


PS  Why is stuffing a 4.2 motor difficult than a 3.6? ITS THE SAME THING,
are you kidding me? and if he did use the 4.2 wiring and ecu, how did he get
around the abh's  ecu (from an automatic car) automatically retarding the
timing due to the ecu not receiving a tcu signal?  you did know that's why
evryone uses is the 3.6 harness in there 4.2 swaps,didnt you? If you need
then documentation backing that last statement up, I would be more than
happy to send it to you.
