Nice!!! another vert bites the dust- Wouldn't been easier to get the motor out with the wheels on the ground?

Looks like you will be rollin in no-time; Wish I had the time to invest in mine...:D

 

[Foxman]

yea i still may want that harness.... this one seems to be pretty screwed up!

so as of now... i want that harnes still!

what does everyone thing of the A9P computer... I believe it is a auto trans computer... if so its for sale or trade!

oh for sure...

anyone know how to read the trans tags to know what trans i have... i know its a T5 but there is like 20 different gear ratios if i remember right!

Trans

The ID tag should read like 1352-199 The three digits after the 1352- what are they?

 

[Foxman]

i dont know as of right now... i will get them tomorrow.. the car is being build at my mothers house...


So just so i have a list... looks like I still need

A exhaust from the headers back
at the minumiunm a head light harness.. (maybe engine)
A A9L computer
O2 sensors harness
manual trans interior shifter boot.
a V8 rack and pinion

but along the way im going to buy the energy suspension complete bushing kit.. new front tie rods (bump steer kit) new ball joints rear upper and lower control arms (aftermarket). And once this engine is out its going to the machine shop to get the block cleaned up and see if i will be ordering new pistons etc.

Oh and come to find out the 8.8 rear doesnt have 3:73 gears... (damn liars) So 4:10 gear set and a auburn locker or Gear driven LSD!
