[yosemiddysam]

What happened with the wiring??????

 

[VP_07SRT8]

it prob isnt even the wiring we didnt even get to that well at least while i was there.......... emilio where are all those pics!?!?!??!?!

 

[wickedstangs]

Bad News is we might have to buy the AJE K-member. The oil pan is hitting the Power Steering Rack we may have to buy some offset bushing for the Power Steering Rack to get it to fit properly.

Good News is the JBA headers went on awesome and fit too.

 

[wickedstangs]

oh ya the drive shaft we have might work now that we push the motor back a couple of inches..

 

[yosemiddysam]

So the power steering was the only problem?????

 

[wickedstangs]

yes..

 

[yosemiddysam]

How did the wiring go????

 

[wickedstangs]

never got to it will all the other little stuff we needed to work on... Next important thing is Fuel Rails

 

[yosemiddysam]

How did you push the engine back a few inches????

Its just moved back to the next channel in the K-member. Actually seems to fit better that way, but it is still laying on the steering rack. Both of the engine mounts are through the holes, but they don't sit flush due to the oil pan. So either different k-member or some other way like offset bushings. The headers look and fit amazing though!
Probably the worst day we have had for taking 2 steps forward, 3 steps back. The list to finish is still pretty long, but definitely doable. It was nice seeing a few new faces to the working party, hope to see everyone out next time with a wrench (and soldering iron) in hand!

 

[VP_07SRT8]

i had the iron for soldering

 

[Gibs]

Wont that change the weight distribution throughout the car?

Oh wait I am stupid nevermind forget I asked of course it wont.

 

[wickedstangs]

yes and no

 

[sdsubzero4]

I had a wrench. LOL

Learned new things today. Thanks guys. Will definitely come out for the next one, if work don't get in the way.

I would also like to add, Xavier is a monster. He pulled the block out himself.
