      Friday is a go. We can get the engine mated to the the tranny, then do work on the brakes and then drop it in Saturday.

      Did a little work on the cooling system. I had to cut the radiator support a little to get the custom radiator to fit. Hood latch had to go. I will have to run hood pins.

                    Ive been dreaming about it since I bought the engine over a year ago. I cant wait.

                    Last night Brandon (F34R) and his brother came down to help me with the car this weekend. The valves were all adjusted and now the s38 was ready to be united with the car.

                    Threw the rear meain seal, Oil pan,Flywheel, clutch, and pressure plate. My stupid mug.

                    Changed out the old gear oil with new redline fluid. 1.4 quarts cap. This should help her shift a little smother.

                            How she sat when we arrived












                            Ratchet the main brains behind the swap.


                            My Brother(owner of the white trooper vert) and Tom prepping the remaining bits to swap.


                            Ratchet loading the engine level.

                              I've been following your thread for a while, since your first swap I guess...
                              And I just wanted to say: GOOD FOR YOU MAN! That car was already hot, now it's going to be $$$. Keep it up.

                                Don't ever put a hood on that car.

                                Is the trans a Getrag 260 or 280?
