I know there are a million threads like this but I can't find any by searching, so I'll make my own.
Before I put the engine back in I'm wondering what I should replace, stuff that'll save me from pain down the road. I don't have the knowledge or skills to dig into anything deep and complicated, so any of that is off the list. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) So far I already have: Alternator belt, SS fuel lines from Chris And plan on ordering: Thermostat cable, accelerator cable.... I know there must be more (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) What about CV joint gaskets, critical? So, what else? My budget is pretty small, I can't afford to get into the "while I'm in there...." mindset (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |

Yes! Please take your CVs off the axels, and wash them on a delicate setting, with a mild detergent.

But since you're not removing the outer CV's located somewhat inside of your suspension trailing arms, you only need 2 for the inner CV's at the tranny. .. |

Rubber brake hoses. You don't want to do this with the engine in the car.

Sense you are asking I made it a point to replace the clutch cable, throw-out bearing and shift linkage bushings (especially at the firewall). Better now than later. Just my opinion. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |

It appears my rear ball cup bushing that goes in the shift rod head is all metal so I assume that one doesn't need replacing (?). |

The rear ball cup bushing is inside that metal piece and it is made of plastic (or some other soft material). If there is slop there I would replace it. Also the fire wall bushing for the shifter and if the shift coupler bushing are in bad shape you may want to replace them as well.
Pelican has a nice package deal for all fo the shift rod bushings. |
