Started a new project today!
 
Project Grocery Getter, lol.

A little while back I got a very good deal on a 99 Seville SLS.
I was told that it needed an engine. I pulled the plugs and turned it over with a breaker bar (I did not want to use the starter, as the Northstar is an interference motor). I could hear the timing chain rub the case or the cover as it turned over and would lock up after a 1/4 turn.

I decided to drop the cardle from the bottom today. It was fairly simple.
I will start tearing it down this week to decide if I am going to repair, rebuild, or replace the engine.

Doesn't the late STS-V and XLR-V have an Eaton on them?
Maybe the family ride needs some boost:eek:

You just can't leave good enough alone can you? LOL

Yes you can get some of the late models with an Eaton on them and if you dropped one of those in there you'd be all set. Talk about one nice sleeper as none of your other cars are sleepers in any way.

I have always thought they were old people-ish but nice, and with some nice paint and dark tint this one will look pretty good.
