It's too bad that this isn't just a 4 hour job that can be knocked out on a Sunday morning at someone's house with a lift

though id suggest taking an extra hour or two to pull the rear cover. remember more than 50% of em have internal or external oil/coolant leaks. paper gasket splits and pushes out on a vast majority of em that ive pulled apart

i dont even change the rear main seal, just the gasket

Yaj Yak put a $6k-ish paint job on that thing, I'm sure he'll do it he just needs motivation. Or a lift and 4hrs with help. So many people will totally be down for that. I know for a fact BPSpeed and Fabrication is down for that job.

Motivation and space/time is a good way to put it.

Or this four hour wizardry I'm hearing about

That Cradle is down in 1.3 hours.

That trans is separated in 15 mins.

Figure 2 hours for reinstall

 

[DEEZUZ]

You gotta look at it like I do....

I can eat steak every night... But I'd like to add a lob tail sometimes too ya know

I've never pulled just a trans, only them together but it was surprisingly effortless. For real.

 

[DEEZUZ]

I've sagged the left side to get cover off to change solenoids... But anything major the cradles coming.

 

[DEEZUZ]

Good looking car.....

What's it worth in its current status?

I'd hate to have to trailer this thing yet again.

cabin cradle bolts are gonna say uhnuhnopenopenope, spinnnnnnnnnnn

thankfully once you pull the engine and trans you can get to the bastards. the cage ripps off the unibody and the nut spins (needs to be free to move for subframe alignment to unitbody, make sure you make some tapered 5/8 or 3/4" pins for installing it with em in the alignments holes/slots)

unfortunatly the cage makes it so you cant get a ground down 1.25" wrench in there, so you have to wedge it with a thick prybar or break out the remnants and weld an old allen wrench to it for install

i much prefer out the top nowadays

That time frame isn't considering dicking with any turburrrr situations.

 

[Yaj Yak]

The thought of fucking with that five bolt turbo flange my car has makes me want a drink.

When Deezus hosts the TCG cookout/pool party. There will be plenty of help to get it done.

No. That's extra...

You like brush guards and bringing truck in with Plow... Yea, that's an extra hour tacked on

No fucking way man. Bunch of Neanderthals with guns and a platform they hate? Fucking thing would become target practice

I just cut down my only tree that we could have used to lift it.... Soo I'm out

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

who ever heard of a ships captain leaving his boat anchor languishing in his driveway?

Doesn’t the barn have a lift? If not, we will figure something out. I have faith in you

Its 5x easier with a turbo setup and those bolts will come right out.
