Jimmy has a fully rebuilt 282 in his TGP.

It took me and TGPvsTll almost 6 months to rebuild it and install it in the car, now mine you, that me and tim took our time, we was not in a rush. But someone on the site, said that him and another guy took just one weekend to do the whole install with no rebuild. so it is possible that two mechanically incline people could do this easily. but I had so many things that wanted to change, while I had the time and space. I could tell you, but I'm sure would take up the whole post :laugh:

Sorry man, I must be mixing up threads, I thought you were throwing a 5 speed in. My bad.

Jimmy, who burnt your chip? Also, I'd really appreciate if you could get ahold of the guy who made your bracket. Are you running a 282 or 284? Any differences really?

I did Jimmys bracket. A copy should fit but we made his to fit his with his crossover and such. His crossover has been repaired. I think there might be a picture of it in his 5 sp swap thread along with pictures of his 282 in pieces.

Jimmy I think at the most we had your car in my garage was maybe 4 weeks. We pulled it in last January or February we did many things to the car but yes a good weekend just a swap can be done. Didn't we rebuild the trans before pulling the car in? What took us so long was getting the parts we needed for the 282 rebuild. We had the basic parts but there was a front seal issue with the kit we found the crack in the case needed to order a fork and a few other parts from the dealer then failed at finding the correct shim for the preload of the differantial and had to make one. But the car wasn't there that long considering we worked all week and only worked on weekends if we had parts. we rebushed the cradle replaced the steel coolant line replaced some A/C lines replaced the oil pump and pulled the exhaust manifolds to wrap them. we roughed out the turbo support bracket one weekend welded it during the week and installed it the following weekend. Plus we had a bit of a time swapping the ABS tone wheels off the auto axles and getting them onto the 282 axles. You also spent a good bit of time doing things inside the car. Plus we did have other things to do on some of the weekends so it wasn't like we worked from dawn to dusk every weekend day. We also talk too much while working. But we did have a good time. Hey meet me out in my garage and we'll pull the charger apart.

Well, the engine is out with minimal line casualties (one or two, but nothing I don't have or can't get easy replacements). I need a new lower motor mount, and some stainless turbo bolts, but otherwise a good cleaning and to figure out what to do about the tranny is all she needs. I was going to swap in this spare, but since it'll be a few weeks til we can get another good weekend to work on it I want to perhaps rebuild one.

Does anyone know where I can get the TGP specific rebuild parts?

I would replace the heater core while the engine is out. That thing is a royal pain in the ass to do while the engine is in there.

perhaps. I need to make a list of things I need to replace/fix

Got the tranny off and both are sitting in the garage


-oil drive o-ring
-turbo bolts (stainless)
-clean everything imaginable
-fuel line o-rings

I'm sure I'll be adding more to the list, that's just what i had in my head
