Heres my EF Fairmont, I got it about a month ago, for 4k.
It's in fairly good condition, lowered, rims, ghia bonnet, done 220,000k. The bay has abit of oil around it, on the cross member especially. The sump bay is leaking abit of oil, and needs the gasket replaced. I've bought the gasket, how much would this cost to fix in labor. I dont have any stand or anything to really get into the bay. Sorry for the cra. photos, ill update them soon. |

nice pick up mate. with the sump gasket you should be able to do it yourself but make sure you have alot of rags underneath of it so the oil dont get on the concrete

with the sump gasket u either have to drop the k-frame or lift the engine so not as easy as frd_crzer says it is.
cheers josh.

Im not sure, its stock id imagine, but it still gets hot. Theres adequate transmission fluid, so im pretty sure thats sweet.
Yeah thats my concern, apparently the crossmember will get in the way. Im honestly not to sure myself. My bro reckons it can be done, but hes not 100% either |
