6th Gen Build Take Two Options

[dspain7]

I meant to document this build better from the start but i guess better late than never as they say. This is my second 6th gen build and I my goal this time is to not rush anything and do everything right that I settled on and or rushed through the first time around. Just a disclaimer to start off with though I am in no means a mastermind and there will be a fair bit of mistakes so go easy on me lol.

So the goal with this build is 5SGTE AWD. I will be using the 5SFE block with a gen three head. As far as I can tell at the moment I have everything that I need from the st205 to complete the AWD swap besides the st205 shifter cables. I started off with a 96 25 anniversary ST that i bought from the original owner with around 330k miles. As of now I have pulled the 7AFE and started on cleaning up and replacing all the old hardware and swapping some of the parts I will be using from my last build.

Here are some pictures of the progress of the car so far.

First Bought.


Just after pulling the engine.


Progress as of tonight after painting the engine bay and sub-frame and starting the process of reinstalling the new and or cleaned parts.


Tomorrows project is to get the oem bushings removed from the lower a arms and get them ready for paint and the new poly bushings as well as swap my front coilovers from the other car and get some other little things done while I am waiting for my next batch of parts to start rolling in.
