Hey Tom, I've been burning the midnight oil quite a bit lately. Lot's of changes lead to lot's of work. It's 2 AM and I just came inside. I spent 18 hours in one day out there last week! When it's back together your welcome to take a look. Thanks for the kind words.
dude !!! ... thanks for the offer ... and hay ! if i can help ... let me know ive been a tech at verrious dealers here in town and can turn a wrench with the best of em .... let me know
I've been spending a little to much time in the garage lately. One day I spent 18 hours Couple nights until 3:30 or so. Anyway, this whole engine swap is about 15 times more complicated than it sounds. The new oil and cooling system certainly didn't help but I've basically reengineered most everything under the hood. From wiring harnesses underneath with heat wrap to all weather pack connectors. New clutch meant recentering the bellhousing. Minor fitment issues with the ac compressor brackets. Routing the AC and Heat hoses as cleanly as possible. Just a ton of work that won't look like much work when it's done. That's the key. My mind is so scrambled on the whole deal I'm just going to post up some photos I took. I've slacked on photos since I've been so busy out there. Once it's all done and polished up I'll take photos of all the changes and new look. It's going to be hot.
