Well my v8 conversion has been sitting since september of 2009. I had the passenger side suspension ear cracked & ready to completely detatch. Luckily I caught it before that happened. So I jacked it up & pulled the drivetrain to fix. Like 2 weeks after I got my LE back from paint. V8 got put on hold for multiple reasons. Well thanks to my Buddy Ian who came & welded in my new ear. Plus the CFR reinforcement plate & ear to firewall bar.
I rebuilt my tranny at the PNW clinic last month. I'll be getting it bolted to the motor in the morning. Then the motor get's put back in (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) . Hopefully I still have all the little pieces handy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) . Really should be pretty straight forward. Although I do need to add a brace by the master cylinder. There has to be a little to much flex when I push on the clutch/brake. I keep pulling my lines out of the top of my master cylinder. Just enough that I get a leak. Once I put it back in it is fine for a few weeks. Then does it again. So I am going to add a brace there so I won't have that flex. If anyone has a pic of doing this I'd love to see it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |
