As much as I hate to say it I'm following this thread closely. After I throw the 94 3.5 into my 87 and make sure everything is in order and working, i will be pulling it out and going thru it. I will be be paying close attention to these "rookie" mistakes (whatever) when I go thru mine. Wishing you luck dude. And you guys throwing ideas out there (fasteddy, wwff, toasty, all of youse guys, much appreciated).
