Eric did you do it with the tranny attached?


Is it very difficult?

[Cabriolet]

attach the tranny and starter before putting it in the car. same with taking it out do it all together.

[mbonanni]

I did my swap with the tranny attached. It wasnt hard. Headers weren't attached and the exhaust was mounted on the car still. Those were difficult to mount to the block.

sorry only a cell shot

[Vivek]

Those are indeed the ones, gonna contact him if i get the funds together.
Need seats > wheels though and they are mint sport seats, the comforts gotta go. Figure if i have the cash for both it will be a more productive trip down south that i had to make anyway.

Hit me up dude. If you want them, I'll make it worth it for you.

thanks.

where did you mount the chain on the back of the engine?

ill be doing this soon :D

[Cabriolet]

pants. right above the starter there is a hole that you lift from. i've found it very hard to get to with the starter in, is the only issue. i've also pulled engines and put them in, using the motor mount arms. this also works.

Today was full of progress. I would've got the vanos on, but I'm missing the nuts for it... I'm also missing a bunch of other nuts and small pieces off the engine. Never again will I buy an engine in pieces. I'm sure the pieces were all there at one point, and I'm not bagging on golde30, but I've spent way too much on this already to have to buy more nuts bolts and small pieces. End rant.
