what u talkin bout willys...mines had no spoiler....



and it definately looks like a gsl, maybe gs with sunroof with a SE suspension, cause who in their right mind would leave the all them solenoids in if doing a swap??

well, according to the vin number it's an se..the motor was swapped by some shop b/c the people wanted to save money......and being in a city where they have to pass inspection they left all the emissions on it. I am trying to get my bosses wrecked se for free but it will definitley need a rebuild.

i got a running -se as a doner for supen swap.i have the full motor from the airbox(with drop in k&n) to the motor... full intake is there. no exh and no ecu but i did unhook the harness so all you need to do is plug it in. motor has unknown miles but i know its VERY LOW the inside of the motor is clean as hell with no carbon buildup at all. i ran the motor for about 30 sec... fired right up and PURRED did a MAZDA compression test on it and it hit over 90 on all faces thats super for a cold motor. it also has a r.b alum flywheel on it. i would keep the alt. but thats it u get water pump main pully air pump(not 100 thats there) i aslo have a stock flywheel so i can swap it out if u want the stocker. 750 with stock fly 1050 with alum fly plus shipping.

Where are you located? I'm not sure if I can come up with 750 bones very soon but it sounds like a decent deal....all I'll have to do is get ahold of an ecu and swap my altenator(should work from what I'm told).....but if you're close I'll pick it up and save some money on shipping.



Got any pictures of it? Is it still in the car?

4meuwil 09-25-2003 09:44 AM

or is there anything else i would need....?

4meuwil 09-25-2003 03:32 PM

a few things leading me to believe it is an se:



1. vin number

2. they hotwired the car bowl vent since there wasn't one

3. there is no choke cable or hole in dash for one

4. gas lines have been hacked up to get gas to carb.

Yep, looks like you did get screwed...



Did they tell you it had a "new" motor?

4meuwil 09-25-2003 04:53 PM

it said it ran great etc....i sent cash and never expexcted for someone to have downgraded motors like that. I assumed the 13b ran great ya know. Well, I am in the market for a motor/tranny and all the electronics if you know someone near memphis, TN. I basically need a front clip, wiring, ignition, everything to make sure I can get her going again. I PMed one guy about his donor car...waiting to see what happens there.

Mines has a stocker.Click on Project GT-X in my sig to see what the stocker is.I was thinking of selling it but not sure now tho.What do you think of the new avatar guys?

drifter 09-27-2003 04:17 AM

Nice avatar. Clearer than the other one, although the kicks asphalt avatar rocks.



I didn't know about the factory spoiler either??

I'll doubt we got factory spoilers here... (but then we didn't get options exactly..)

At least they put a fuel filter by the carb/ that shows some knowledge.
