Picked up my 1988(87?) Fc GXL awhile back. The car itself is in good shape but the motor was blown, this was not a problem as I already knew the 13b was coming out. Sorry rotary guys, I think the motor is pretty awesome, but I already had a perfectly good motor sitting around. I am probably gonna get lit up for this, but with the 13b out, a 3S-GE Beams blacktop is going in! Obviously, this is uncharted territory and I will post up dates as often as possible. Currently this is where I am (sorry pics are so large):
My shell:
Like I said, the motor was blown so the fist order of business was to remove the 13b.
Luckily I have some pretty good resources at my disposal so it was off to the shop with the shell!
The previously mentioned red coolant in the air box.
With the motor out I started to clean the bay up. I pressure washed it, and removed alot the now useless clutter.
This whole area was a jumbled rats nest, so i tried to clean it up a bit.
The 13b, and the 3sge.
The Beams after I removed the manifolds, and the accessories.
This is mostly where I am now, I will post test fit pics shortly.
