I have a 1996 Chevy Corsica with the v6 in the morning i am going to pull it into the front yard and completely strip everything from inside the car except the driver seat and dash which will be cut up so as there isnt as much of it possibly remove the entire thing and just add in a tac above the steering wheel. Gonna clean up the plugs and wires see if i can get it to quit missing so bad.

There seems to be a little water and oil or some sort of nasty gunk that looks simular to that on the back 3 plugs on the motor could that be from a blown gasket? or is something happening with my plugs that maybe i dont understand?

My car has power everything so im gonna rip that out of the doors and junk and get rid of the a/c in it because it wont be a daily driver it doesnt need it.

Also do you guys think that the 3.8L supercharged regal motor will mount in the front of my corsica? can i put a manual tranny to that motor and be able put it in the corsica it has a automatic in it right now which brings me to the next question what would i need exactly to put a 5spd in the car or where could i find the information containing what i would have to have?

Appreciate the help and advice ... I hope this car can be a fun lil honda burner

 

I think that you have the right idea, But you should research this project better. There are alot of way's as to where you can modify the existing motor and transmission at a lot lower cost and still have a fast street car. I have enjoyed modifying my 91 corsica over the past few years. you first have to think of a engine as a air pump. The easyer it inhale's , the hotter if fires and the better it exhales,,, the faster and better it will run. The interior does not have to be completely gutted for wieght reduction. You do not have to destroy the dash. Start with the basics. And you will end up with a very good running and fast Corsica. As I enjoyed doing myself.
