Ok so I'm going to be swamping this GTP motor with 78k into my GT in a month or so here. When ever I get the money up to buy some of the small things I need. But I wanted to ask a few things. I'm swapping both engine and trans from the GTP, being that mt trans has no 4th and 1-2 is hard. It was the reason I bought the car (Got it for dirt cheap), then I just decided to swap the entire thing over. So I have been asking on all the forums on what i need.
First question is about pulling my motor. I just drooped the sub frame and everything from the bottom of the GTP. But I have no lift, so what we did was use some chain falls and hook them to the front radiator support and lifted the body over both of them. But it bent the support so I didn't want to try that with mine. All i have is a few jacks, a bunch of stands, an engine lift and the chain falls. So i thought I might be able to get both out of the top because it would be easier and I could unbolt the A/C compressor and save some money on not getting that recharged. But I had people tell me that the trans has to come out of the bottom, but then I had people that told me it can come out of the top so I was hoping someone could help me out with that.
Also I have a question about the harness. I know i need to change out the outside harness for that computer and the MAF. But I didn't know if I would need to change out the inside. Taking that one out in the GTP I had was not fun. The only reason I see for changing that one out is to use the Display Computer with the boost gauge, if that's the case I'll just buy an aftermarket one.
But if anyone can answer some of my questions it would be a big help, thanks.
Oh and nice forums you guys have. I have read them for awhile but this is the first time I have posted.
