Project 3 to 1 DD - Non e30 content

[hotrodlincoln]

I'm looking forward to finishing it. I always find it easier to work on a complete running/functioning car with what I do. Do you still need me?

As promised, engine and trans in...


Come to Papa, was worried if the heads would clear cleanly...

[ZM Blue Devil]

Big thanks to Andrew for help(beer run) and camera work.

who needs a trans stand... Old school cradle it like a baby and just mount it up.

[selturk]

Somehow missed this, but am caught up now. Damn straight boys.

How come you ended up mating the trans from the underside?

[ZM Blue Devil]

its large... Hard to get the angle right didnt want to risk messing up the headers, and all the powder coated stuff on the engine.

Sub 48 hours before engine start.

Making decent progress the last two days...

Turk replaced the fuel hoses, fuel filter and all the hoses in the bay, the remnants of the s38 engine has been a pain, basically redoing all of it. They even used a 2002 hose for one of the hoses.

Decided on just ordering new Ireland Engineering Exhaust, should be here by end of the week.

Also added another item from the shelf since we had it:D Test fitting with the CAI. Should work out nice.

I cant wait to fire this thing up, between the CAI, headers, IE exhaust the Miller and the 3.73LSD rear end it should move nice and sound even better.

Our detail guy is coming Thursday night so we are trying to button everything up.

No, just more speed bumps than expected.
-rewiring the already rewired fusebox from the prior s38 swap
-installing new cruise control actuator
-new throttle cable
-fuel filter and all new rubber fuel lines
-adapting the auto engine harness to work as a manual
-intake mounting fab work
-replacing aux fan since the wires were spliced. previous owner didnt use a stock fan, just the aux fan for cooling so the wiring here was all jacked up.

Just taking my time doing it right. Want to make sure Levent and/or the next owner doesnt curse us for taking shortcuts.
