Thread: GT Block conversion

@minichopper: yeah, I forgot that you can just leave the torque converter atached tp the tranny. Been awhile since I have removed just a motor. I also deal more with RWD.

Anyways,I'm sure it is aleast alittle more work dropping all from underneath, than just pulling the motor, but not too much. I've looked it all over, and it isn't going to be like I will have to do the swap in one day, so I can drive my car the next. I'm going to take my time, and look at everything as it comes out. The car does have alot of miles on it, and I have no idea of what the condition is on all the other parts, except the fact that the tranny has been rebuilt recently. Got me some papers to prove that. Who knows when the struts have been done? It needs new front hubs, that has already been established. Sounds as though that the power steering pump is shot, or the rack and pinion is going bad, since I get a wine when I turn and it can be tough to turn from time to time. This is going to be quite the project, since the motor isn't the only thing I need to look at, so I am aproaching it that way, and deciding on what is easier all around for the job.

I do agree, the front header does look like an easy in and out, even with the motor in the car.
