New to R3V!!!

Gotcha. Oh well this time around the car will be set up better.

So I went to remove the transmission and found only three bell housing bolts holding the damn thing together. Also the engine and transmission weren't even lined up properly. Ugh!!!

Like i said. The dude that did the swap was a moron..

Lol! When you said it was done on a "budget" it didn't think that the budget didn't include bolts! Oh well bolts are cheap and the motor was coming out anyway. I guess I can look at like he saved me some time by not putting all the bolts in.

You Sir have a very positive outlook! Keep it up and keep us posted!

Lol! You either get mad or just laugh at the ridiculousness of the craftsmanship of this build. I will post some updated photos of where I am at on the swap later today.

The exhaust was down right comical

[LostE30]

Yes it was. Held on by the headers and the hanger in the rear was a thick piece of rubber with a wood screw threw it.

Lol! The awesome exhaust hanger!

This is how the transmission looked when I got a close look. Missing all those transmission bolts.
