I got my motor and transmission out of the car today. It only took about 5 hours including time to go pick up new chains from the hardware store. Next week I will mount the new pedals and hydraulics, and cut a hole in the trans tunnel for the new manual shifter. I hope to have it running by the end of next month, but I am not expecting it to be running until the end of March.

 

Cool, what are your plans for the car? Just the trans swap?

 

Yeah, I am swapping in the T5 over my 700R4 for now. Also while the engine is out I am going to rewire all my accessories to the switches I have mounted on my shifter plate. I already have it setup that way but I want to make it cleaner so I can identify all the wireing. I also plan on cleaing up the interior, but nothing major other that the trans swap. In the summer I am going to do all the body work and get her straight and primered, but for now I just want to get her back on the road.

 

I know exactly what you mean. My car looks like crap right now, I just wanted to get it running again. I hope to paint my car when i get house(hopefully soon). Goodluck with everything
