Tranny all cleaned up:
 Pin on crankshaft ground off:  Stage 3 clutch installed, and getting ready for tranny attachment:  Bolting up the tranny:  Engine dropped in:  Walbro pump installed:  I've got the engine started but I'm dealing with a problem with it revving up by itself. More updates to follow. -Doc -------------------- -Dr Tweak, 6GC's resident engine swap wiring expert extraordinaire Click here to see my swaps drtweak@phoenixtuning.com |

Also I still have the stock n/a engine here, you can probably get it cheap if you want it. Got the engine going yesterday after fixing a fuel pump short and a leaking intake manifold gasket, runs great Going to the exhaust shop today and getting some gauges, and a few other things finished up.-Doc This post has been edited by Dr_Tweak: Mar 17, 2006 - 7:46 AM -------------------- -Dr Tweak, 6GC's resident engine swap wiring expert extraordinaire Click here to see my swaps drtweak@phoenixtuning.com |
