lets see.....45min to pull the old motor, 45minutes to install new motor, 45minutes to tune new motor.

Sounds like one heck of a party for the rest of the day!

There is also a transmission to be swapped (tail to side shifter) and some other bits to be cleaned up (fuel lines and 2 port relocated fuel pump) The hope is to have time to relax and enjoy our BBQ. I am sure there will be some bench racing, tall tale telling etc mixed in.

More parts ordered. This is getting exciting! If we get it done and running, it will be almost exactly a year that it has been down waiting for me to "find the time".
Thanks so much to the community for all the help and support (and Chris at Tangerine racing for responding promptly to questions about the fuel lines even after a year of asking without ordering)!

So I have the tins from the replacement motor just sitting in the garage. They are not in bad shape. Should I just clean them up or try to get them coated in some way?

Fuel pump has arrived. Clutch parts waiting at Zim's. Fuel lines on the way (I hope).

The flywheel and clutch parts are in my possession, and I will be bringing my CV joint bolt tool, my clutch alignment tool, and some other things to make the motor swap easier.

That is very exciting! I have the fuel line kit and a pile of other pieces waiting the big day.

Really sorry I'm going to miss this one. Got family obligations for the weekend.

My son and I are slowly working through the same thing here. We've got the engine dropped, FI torn down and cleaned up, and are now in the process of getting things back together. It would have been really nice to see how the "pros" do it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Lots of hands on the car today and some pretty good progress by the time I left. I left the phone/camera in the car, so no pictures. But others took some. Thanks for hosting, we'll have to do this again soon.

When I found the cost of that unit (I am talking RABY MONEY) I went with this more modest 1911, which got cleaned up and had a new RMS installed. Not quite ready to install, but soon!
