Okay so I've got to get on the ball if I am going to have my car running. I've been tearing into my burned six & haven't done squat. So I am getting down to it this week. Throw out some advice as needed please. I hope to install my engine next saturday. This week on nights after work. I need to mate the tranny to the engine. Install the flywheel, Clutch etc... I've got to go buy my Optima battery (I forget which one is supposed to fit). Once I get the tranny all mounted clutch installed & all. Then I'll get everything in place to do the full install on saturday. I have pulled my engine before by myself but this is my first actual install. So all advice & help is much appreciated. So feel free to give me a nice basic install guidline. Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

If you are planning on mating the engine and tranny and then installing them together then it will be easy for the tranny to be fitted, but it may be a bit more technical to place the whole unit in the car. I prefer, so its my opinion, to put the engine in first, bolt the engine bar in and put a block under the engine allowing it to aim downward a bit. Why? Because when you put the engine in first it is easier to manouver into place, and is lighter to work with.
Installing the engine: - You will need to rotate it side ways a bit to allow the tin to dodge the nuts on the suspention arms. - Tie the FI hoses on the injectors out of the way. Installing the tranny is pretty easy. Just use a jack like you did with the engine. To line the splines up it is sometimes necessary to shift it into 5th gear, and move both CV flanges to rotate the shaft a bit. this is the cliffs notes of it all. There are numerous ways to do this so there may be one that you like better. This is just how I like to do it and I can do it with a small floor jack and one frined (or none if no one likes you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ). |
