There is a 6 port 8 engine available for a really good price. I understand it was running when removed from the wrecked 8. The tranny is spoken for but the engine is complete with the computer.
I considered it for a while thinking of a starting a project car but the chassis for the project car disappeared and the 6 port will not work in my car. I will put you with the owner if you are interested.

Hey guys, long time no talk. Everything was going great with my 8 until today. After a bit of aggressive driving i came to a stoplight in the middle of the afternoon, the car rough idled a little more than usual and then it died all of a sudden. I was able to get the car turned back on but now im noticing a bit of "grinding" when the car shifts to a higher gear. Anyone have any thoughts?
BTW my car is an 04 AT GT on its second engine replaced in 07
[Edit]
Took it for a test drive when the weather cooled down and it ran pretty normal. i hit a section of stop and go traffic and noticed that the car was having a harder time and idleing rougher. the noise upon gear switching pretty much disappeared but all i hear now is a weird noise when the car is in 2nd gear at around 4000 RPM. I know i need to get the coils, wired and plugs changed and people have said to do a tranny flush but i wanted to see if you guys had any input.

OK, I had to put a couple of peeps off due to the WHiV meet. Now that it's over I will have an open garage again on Saturday 10am until 2pm. Please post or text me before Saturday if your coming so that I will be prepared and don't plan over the top.....
Chun: If your ready to remove your front bumper we can start on the intake.
I have a new item from Pettit that is supposed to bump up the starter motor and god knows I need that. Looking for a volunteer to help install it (attaches to the starter under the car).

Hey Phil. I'll stop over to help out with your starter. I don't really want to start my intake yet, I wanna scan for cat failure. My seat is becoming unbearably hot.
