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)

Made some progress this week. Spent last weekend cleaning up & moving the burned six out of the way. Got my shop space all cleared MOnday & moved my nice 914 into place. Tuesday pulled my scattered parts out to have ready. Wednesday - Coy came down from Salem to help me mate the tranny & muscle a few things around (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . I owe you one Coy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (although I don't drink so pop will have to do). Anyway we got the tranny all mated & pushed the whole setup under my car. It is ready for me to start hooking things up. Everything is all labeld & should go prettty easy. I couldn't find my engine mounts though. Hopefully I can find them tommorow (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) . If not any recommended mounts to buy? Hope to get everything in SAturday.
Anyway Coy it was a pleasure to meet you & get to drive your nice 74 2.0. I am even more stoked to get mine running now. Talk to you soon & maybe passing you too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) |
