    Flywheel isn't looking bad especially after sitting for 20 years

    That is a flexplate, automatics don't have flywheels...B)

    Curious, is there a reason you pulled the head and engine? Was it bad?

    Wanted to see how bad it was. What kinda measures i had to take in restoring it. Its not bad i came to find out. Just dirty

    Ah ok. Just a suggestion in the future I would have not pulled it apart. Simply make sure it has good compression and see how it runs. The L6 engines are pretty stout and either run great and have been cared for or worn out and smoke like crazy, with a few in betweens!

    That's understandable. I don't think i mentioned it sat for 20 years not running. First thing i wanted to do was make sure every bit of the car was in shape to run and if not then to replace it. I just want to be thorough. I hate having to go back and do something over simply because i assumed.

    EBay, join hybridz.org also at times the hybriz folks tend to gut interiors. Also put out a WTB ad in all the parts forum.
