My KLZE Festiva Build Thread

[Damkid]

I know this is a HUGE, and a tad ridiculous, question, but it may help you out to have it written down somewhere. What all do you have left?

well for metal work i need to make the alt and intermediate shaft brackets and the engine mount. Then i need to find a rad and do the plumbing then wiring and i think thats all

[hofficergrover]

what type of rad will you be using?

[Damkid]

Probably a custom rad so i know it'll fit nicely

[hofficergrover]

ok, man this thing is going to be so sweet!!

[pr0nst4r]

Chris, you are incredible. hofficergrover is right, this this is going to be sweet!

and exhaust work...

[Damkid]

and exhaust work...

Well of course :lol: the way i see it, exhaust isn't needed to fire it up which is why i forgot to mention it :lol:

[gorgonheimer]

true. but its really loud

[Tommychu]

true. but its really loud

The best part of a swap project is firing it up for the first time without the exhaust!
Adds a lot of satisfaction to the "holy crap I actually got this thing running" feeling.

:lol: thanks, here's a fresh pic as i was pushing it back into the garage




i moved it out so i could load the engine and tranny into my aspire to take to work tomorrow, so tomorrow night i should have the brackets made up for the alt. and int. shaft

A V6 in the back of an Aspire? Hm... Your Festiva looks like a prizefighter, missing a grille and one eye haha!

[mikeycar500]

thanks man just the fix i needed lol

[Nerd Racing]

just mount up that V6 in the back of the aspire and go with it turn it off for inspections and just run the B3

[Damkid]

I decided not to re-locate the alternator to keep it simple(r) so i just made up the intermediate shaft bracket tonight




And a quick coat of paint
