I was thinking 2.3 turbo swap, but if that motor only has 32k miles, just powerworks it.

I love sleeper cars...

It's already been on the street since friday. i had to replace the iac valve due to alot of corrosion in it cause some weird idling issues also replaced the tps before that but it ended up being the iac. It passed emmissions with flying colors. Now to get the bodywork done and get it shot with one color.

Why not make it a NASA Spec Focus Racer?! You already got it gutted, engine and tranny running. Just needs suspension, new rotors, pads, race seats, and roll cage.

Just read the thread... yeesh.

Good luck with this project. How deep was the car submerged at one point?

Cool thing is that it's running and passes emissions testing.

Trade for radio control stuff... amazing. LOL. You win

Looks like an interesting project, but curiosity has got the better of me. It never went "all the way under"? If it's running and the dash isn't ruined, the engine wasn't flooded but the trans did I'm guess just off a bank and a couple feet at most, correct?
