Well I kept at it determined to put the engine in alone and
save myself some money. Axle nut problem has been fixed
due to assistance with a grinder. I just cut the bolt and will replace.
Here is what it looks like now...



All I have left is:

put the suspension back together
Put the axles in
put the engine harness on
attach shift linkage
re-do (1) lower ball joint
install P75 ECU

I think thats about it and one last thing "pray it starts"

If anyone has any tips or things i should look out for let me know...



Thanks H-T for all your help!!!!!!!!!!!

 

You forgot you need to re-attach the exhaust.

What's that blue wire that runs along the firewall? Looks good so far now man.

There's a grommeted hole right behind the battery, wire it through that.

Good luck with the rest of it.

 

I have one suggestion next time out the harness on before you put the motor in! You can make it a little cleaner and you can get every angle with out much trouble! That's how I do it anyways! for doing it yourself!

why didnt you put the header on first b4 putting the motor in the car?

Double check EVERYTHING before start up. Mentally go through your checklist.

 

is this the first time you've ever done something this big? was it hard?
