 Re: Wally just failed why yes he did read this
Here are some pics of me putting in the new engine I would say damn good job for me and I just gain so much experience pulling this engine out learned new things and yeah. Im still amazed at what research can do and wtf I just did on my car im seriously impressed I could do this and not pay someone to do it. I dont have a chance to finish today since im to weak and my body gave in I cant even torque a bolt lol. I would say damn damn good job for one of the new guys. Mitsubishi valve cover anybody want it lol  My car and the unhookec fmic lol  Auto   This pic looks tight  Old 7 bolt chillin  Lowering the new engine in and redid the timing with new parts from my old 7 bolt.

 Re: Wally just failed why yes he did read this
Does anybody even want me to update this anymore lol. So I almost have everything hooked up I just need to put the intake and radiator back on and add oil as well as antifreeze then crank it over.

 Re: Wally just failed why yes he did read this
hahaha gus Im still puzzled on that to when I was doing research on removing the engine all the info said it must come out with tranny but I proved that wrong lol. Maybe becuase im auto and I dont have a thick flywheel so I had more room to push the engine away from the tranny and took it straight up haha.

 Re: Wally just failed why yes he did read this
There's your answer right there. If its anything like the auto in my truck, the tq converter just bolts to the flex plate. No splined shaft which requires pulling the trans away from the engine to separate the two.

 Re: Wally just failed why yes he did read this
I'm impressed, you did your own research and got going pretty good for the most part. True test is when you fire it up and drive. This possibly might redeem you from your t-shirt mishap.

 Re: Wally just failed why yes he did read this
Yeah im impressed on my self vfag does help alot. Like sam said its when I fire up the car when it counts when everything is hooked up I will record me cranking it for the first time no matter what happens. Im glad I could do this on my own but its been a month since ive been down people do this swaps like in one day but im new so its good. I will be showing up to the meet guaranteed.  Cant find my keys

 Re: Wally just failed why yes he did read this
My first motor build and swap took 4 months of down time. Not to mention 88WhiteStarions 2year chassis swap.
