Default Update on 1992 PA SSP

It has been a few weeks since I posted about my 92. So here is an update. I have the trammission out and at my budy's shop to be rebuilt. Pulled the motor out and have taken the block and heads to the machine shop. Got lucky and block and crank did not need to be machined. Will pick up the block and heads on Wednesday. Valve job and new seals for heads and block cleaned with new cam bearings and ball honed. Have rering kit on the way with standars rods, mains and rings. Also ordered a new balancer from Summit today. Car body taken to NC another budy's shop for rust repair. After the rust repair is done I will have the engine bay repainted. I will bring it back to SC and start putting the car back together.

It's great you putting all this effort into your SSP. While it may not be for everyone, I do like the color combo .

Default Update

Engine is rebuilt and still on engine stand (I will get pictures). Went to local pick a part yard yesterday and picked up some parts (Battery tray, window washer tank, vapor line, fuel filter mount and shock tower) all for $58. I was online looking for some other parts and found a sale going on saved $45 on all the parts. The web site is foxbodyworld.com the company is CJ Pony Parts.

Default Same color

John, my 1992 SSP is the exact color combo as yours. Mine is wild strawberry with scarlet red interior. Is yours a 5 speed?
