Re: How to Begin Restoration??
This site is good for finding used auto parts: http://www.car-part.com Just be careful though. Sometimes it can be hit or miss with used engines. Even low mileage ones. There is also the option to buy a new 3100 long block and swap the intake, oil pan, and sensors after cleaning them up. I agree th...

Re: How to Begin Restoration??
Thx. 4 the Replies..
It is a long story, but it has got to be this one.. I also want it to look as original as it can; no engine size changes (3.1L)..
Having said that, what is my best option, find a good used engine or buy an rebuilt one and modify
that one or the used engine??

Re: Before Restoration Pics
Looks like the rear 1/4 is going to be a pain. May need to just get a new door and front fender, that would save time. Hi, What is wrong with the Right Rear ¼ (FYI, one can make the little ¼ sign by holding the "Alt Key down +172", 171 for the ½).. It is pushed in a little between the Whe...

Re: Before Restoration Pics
Hi TM,
Its pretty good I think.. Working on fixed income; the Beretta just got pushed down a number on
my to-do-list, when I have to help my Grand-Daughter get a car to go to her job..

Re: Transmission Upgrade
Hi, Well 2.97 times 0.705 is 2.09; man that is low number; at 3000 RPMs in 4th gear, the vehicle should be doing 120 + MPH or am I missing something..

Re: Transmission Upgrade
Hi Mr. Pit, Thx. 4 the reply.. I have seen lists of several FDR's.. These FWD Transmissions/Differentials are confusing to me.. Is the FDR number before or after the 4T60e goes into 4th gear which is an overdrive ( .705 )?? That would change and 3.33 to 2.35.. On the Website automotive-catalog. ,it ...

Re: Transmission Upgrade
Hi Guys, Thx. 4 the Replies.. I know how the Final Drive Ratios work with RWD vehicles, but I don't think I understand how these FWD Transmission FDR's work.. If I have an FDR of 2.97 and I have an 4T60e automatic that has an 4th gear ratio of .705; does that mean that my overall Final Drive Ratio i...
