Engine drop was a success, except for the fact that I left the engine bar on and it caused the engine to be WAY wide and therefore it BARELY fit into my dad's truck.

Anyway, The trip begins tomorrow at 9 or 10, I should be there around 1pm.

I will take pics of that if I remember to bring my camera.

Thanks EVERYONE who offered parts for me and especially to Garold for letting me have a working engine.

On a sidenote, I actually used my engine to get on my ramps, and it siezed when the car got to the top of the ramps.

But oh boy will Garold have a nice surprise when he opens that engine... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Oh, I will bring my engine hoist with me also. I really don't need to mess up my back trying to lift a engine on my trailer. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Sean, I live in Louisville near the Gene Snyder Expressway and I-71.

Today is the day (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

David, cant wait for that ride... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I *DEFINATELY* absolutely need a transmission mount. The center rubber part fell out of the rest of the mount.

Yeah I'm ordering a bunch of stuff f as soon as I get paid.

* Viton Pushrod Tube seals
*Pushrod tubes (mine are rusted?)
*Tranny Mounts (911 sport AKA cheaer ones--or should I go solid mounts?)
*spark wires and plugs.

PS=Oh! another thing, is the vent supposed to point towards the fan (front) or the rear (tail of tranny)?

Mine was pointed sideways/back, which might have caused a alot of my leaks.
