I am slowly taking on the project of rebuilding/modding/fixing my 88 GT. The car started to take a crap around Janurary when I found a pretty decent leak that only got worse and worse simply because I'd always drive to Tampa for school, the girlfriend and I am a driving son of bitch, eventually from driving it a little too much with too little (water) not coolant lol(yea the leak was that bad!) It started to kill the w/pump bearings after being dry, wet, dry, wet and then my belt started getting sqeuaky, turned into a big friggen mess after one thing broke it all just followed (usually how it works right?)


long story short , I let it sit up until about 3 weeks ago just rotting away after I took it off the road and bought a Thunderchicken. I need to find out whether the block or the timing chain cover is cracked. Sounds simple, is pretty simple and I pulled off the radiator, alternator, water pump etc and am just getting ready to yank the TCC off of it to see if it is indeed cracked that way I know whether I should spend time fixing it now, or say screw it because I dont have the money or time to replace the block and rebuild it all.


Anyone know where I can get a used or even brand new timing chain cover for an 88, and how much it'd cost me? it's only aluminim, sure it's fairly cheap.


Thanks all

blue oval corral, 727-571-1996, ask for chad, tell him to give you the gaggot hook up.

 

Im afraid to ask what "gaggot" is because I have seen it twice now, assumed it was a typo once, now I question myself.

Yeah, Blue Oval...I'll have to ponder on that, but thanks
