I am going to be putting my engine in by myself, so trying to get everything lined up so it will be a smooth process.
My throttle bodies and fuel rails are wider than the stock sheet metal, so will be removing one of them so I won't have to use crazy angles (again) to get the engine back up in there. My engine is about as high as one with Webers. I've built two large wide ramps and extra blocks so that I can have the rear wheel about 14" off the ground. Don't have my car here so can't test it out, but figured all you jack stand / car ramp guys will know if that is high enough for my engine to fit under the bumper. If not, some more 2 x 6's are going to get cut up for blocks. |

$6.25 is a great deal. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)
Out here in Greenie California VP Racing CT 12 is $15.00 a gallon and you have to sign a release form to get it. Might as well be buying gas in France. It's pretty interesting how every detail of a car has to be right to go fast. You end up learning a bunch about things you never thought you'd have to understand, but that is the nature of doing it yourself. |
