I tried to put the dx axle in the hub on my donor vehicle that sports teggy hubs and it fit so the way I see it it should work....I hoping to have her started in a week, but I need to find someone who does sandblasting for my valve cover and header. By the way anyone ever use header tape? I found some the says it's good for up to 1000 degrees but like I said, I'm a no0b (god I can't believe I'm admitting this) when it comes to header wrap..My old man is going to do the wrapping, but heven he's not sure about the temp.

its a matter of opinion really i dont think you will need it but it does work to some degree. and instead of using a sandblaster just get some aircraft remover. it will strip all paint from the valve cover so you can re paint any color you want i will include a pic of my b16 valve cover for reference. and as a side note because its aluminum i left it this way because of the great condition its badass when u pop the hood and see it staring back at you

drumming i really feel for you bro. as u stated for a free motor its still pretty in comparison, but lets just hope you didnt inherit someone elses nightmare, as they would say
