he bought the car maybe....a year ago...the guy he bought the car from said the clutch was replaced...i dont think he said when...the car had like 165k+ miles on it...probably replaced it like 100k miles ago...the new one is in and the car should be running tomorrow morning...about 2 hours of work left

umm...how bout...i dont know that much about cars to do an engine swap...specially one like that...so far we have replaced the clutch, got in the gear oil, bled the slave cylinder, got a new hose (old one got punctured taking tranny off) and got 2 screws to hold the distributer cap on (was just sorta hangin there)...
the car is gay...we had it started earlier, and if you give it a little bit of gas, it stalls out, but if you floor it, it sputters like its gonna stall, then rev's up as high as you want...i think it needs a new alternator too
damn cars
