the plan is, strip to a bare long motor, paint the block and intake manifold black, extractors ceramic coated black, replace all the gaskets in the motor, rebuild the t5, cut and mod the sump, then swing it into the bay, and wire it all up

well today is the day the next processes begins, the supermont has it's 17's back on the front so we can turn it around, the front of the car will be choked so it can't roll and we will be jacking the a*** end up sky high and pulling the box out with it,

before we take it off the stands now we will be undoing the engine mounts and putting the gearbox mount back up so it doesn't dig in while we're trying to move it around, everything else is set and ready to rock

the motor came out with out an issue this morning, once the new motor is set up and running 'll rip the head and timming cover off, and fix it up again and sell the motor for 500 bucks,

I always insisted if the motor came out the standard one would not go back in

Why did you pull the AC Pump and the Powrre steering pump out with the motor? Just unbolt them and leave them in, saves trying to resael the Power steer and regassing the AC.
