Okay the info I need is most likely within the 2600 pages on this thread but I have looked for an hour with no luck. If I was to carb a 3.1 FWD does that completely eliminate the computer or does it still need to be wired in. Never ran one but getting ready to start building 2.

You can take the computer out if running carb setup, you will only need to hotwire coil packs, control module is connected to the packs, also make sure you leave your wires to your crank sensor you will need these as well.. good luck

Using ends from junk cv's made some bearing savers. That way I can roll them around without cv's in them and NOT destroy the hub bearings

Should be salvagable if it isn't seized up..good luck

Any interest in pre-made wiring harness for a 3100 or 3.1? Yes Any word back on this? I'm still staring at my project car needing the wiring harness to not suck.

What's everyone's opinion on the 3.4 engine? I've only ran the 3.1 but recently found a car with a 3.4 and don't know if I should pick it up or not.
