Slickretta's speed swap with my help.

[Barry]

Thats sick. Another 3x00 5-speed FTW.

Isnt it amazing how many cars you can find those mounts in? There everywhere.

Anyone that doubts me come to my house and look at my slips, because I'm not posting them.

Reason being?

And really, banned for having dual accounts? That's lame...

Why the high flow oil pump and headgaskets? Timing chain and LIM gaskets should have been the only things if needed. HG's don't really fail on these motors unless you over heat them. I think he has the 2.5" stainless mandrel downpipe still that Graphics had on there.

I put the High flow oil pump on there, and the new head gaskets, because I wanted to see his ring edge, and for a lot of other reasons, the biggest because I am Loosenut, and even though I have a lifetime Bann from Berettastuff, because some jerk though I had duel accounts, I still take care of my fellow Beretta owners, I put $600.00 into this project and will never ask for him to return that money. Oh and one more thing about Berettastuff.com, even though some hate me, you should have gotten to know me, several people will tell you, I'm the best person to know when you need help, Because I am not a poser, I own the Mistress, the only 92 GT Auto that WILL do a a 13.5.

Was the isuzu trans used or just the mount? Does the isuzu mount bolt to a getrag? It's got that weird round mount, which BTW they make poly mounts for.

EDIT: yeah it's gonna need some tuning to not surge/stall from the auto programing. And to get the full power out of the 3400. Still has the terrible 3100 logs on there, but I think he has the 2.5" stainless mandrel downpipe still that Graphics had on there.

Well having those guys around was fun, but doing the work was not. Im trying to get him to get it tuned (not what I do). It still has the stock ecm, and it thinks there is still an automatic in it, causing a ses light.

[Rhedalert]

looks like fun!

I called Zack up about painting a customer of mine's Corvette, he said he wanted to put a 5-speed into his 96 Beretta which already had the 3400 swap done. We did the swap in a week, and let me tell you it was an epic week. If it wasn't for not having all the parts, we might have gotten it done quicker. Well here's some picture's...

Before we started the swap...



Motor, trans and front cradle out...




Zack and Nick cutting the old mount out of the way...










And off to pull and pay to get the trans mounts...


The Victim: 98 cavy 2.2 5 speed...




Back to the car to install the new mounts and to put the new pedal assm in..







The 3400 got some new parts...

New timing chain, high flow Melling oil pump, all new seal's and gasket's, and a few more parts...


Putting it back together...











Some fine tuning...
