haha! there are three jacks under there and only the front of the car is lifted. it's all good.

Fixed the rear motor mount, one of the bolts was broken off in the subframe. I also degreased and painted the engine bay. Im waiting for the clutch to show up from UPS. Then Ill get the motor/trans in. I also windo-welded all my mounts.

What did you go with for a clutch?

Did you do the bearings along with the build?

The ACT 2600 kit from dsmparts.com and they are taking forever to ship it.

I did replace the front wheel bearings, along with lower ball joints and control arm bushings.

Nice! I heard those are a pain in the ass to replace! How long did it take you? But great build man hope to see you on the road this summer!

Nice, if I knew the control arm bushings were bad at the time I ordered the ball joints online, I would have ordered complete control arms. It would have been more cost effective than buying the bushing kit and ball joints separately.

Thanks, most people say its a pain in the ass because they dont even know how to do it at all. It didnt take me long at all on a hydraulic press, pretty easy actually. I hoping on getting it running this week, once my clutch shows up.

I ended up ordering the new corner markers, I know now I should have ordered the clear corners. Anyways they really make the headlights look pretty bad. I think ill try one of the headlight restoration kits and see if it helps clear them up.

Haha cool I'll probably do mine too once I get my clutch situation fixed! Lol

Im still waiting for the clutch from dsmparts.com, im so pissed.

Anyways, I notice my oil cooler is dented in on the face. Im not taking any chances on it leaking so Im going to change it out before I install the motor.

If you have a spare one let me know!

I replaced the dented oil cooler, installed the battery tray and replaced the battery terminals. Still waiting for the delivery of my ACT 2600 clutch kit and Innovate LC-1 Wideband.

I ordered ECMlink v3 and sent my ECU out today to get socketed. My Wideband and clutch will arrive by Thursday.

Bolted the trans on the motor and dropped them in the car. My ECU is being shipped back from ECMtuning, so I have a few days to get everything ready.
