Thread: The swap-Pic heavy

This isnt going to be a techinal teardown because there are many really good one's already out there,but who knows maybe i will stuble upon a problem that nobody has encountered yet and we'll all learn something from it.As some of you already know, my transmission bit the dust a cupple days ago.And i didn't know if anyone would like to follow along with this or not so i said what the heck.I have purchased a triple edge performance tranny with 3.29 gears. Intense input shaft, along with a 7/8's chain.That transmission should be shipping out today-6/12/08 and should take around 4 days to get to me.


I have also ordered 42.5's along with an lq4 maf setup because maxing out the stock maf and injectors is not to far away with my setup.The xp cam is on the way also and will be installing that when the motor comes out.This is my daily driver but i am also going to be taking my time doing this to ensure nothing goes wrong....with that said i'll bring on the pics...


I don't have a garage so i kind of made one.It is hot here and working in the sun is not an option lol








Headers main harness and prety much everything that is conected from the motor to the car has been disconected.





another shot

what size pulley you using now? btw where did you get the oil dip stick?

3.2 now...going to be going to a 2.8 very soon after the car is runnning again...

Well sorry for not updating latley, got the engine out transmission is still in.I am awaiting the arrivial of my new transmission from dave (should be here this week) and also my cam springs and retainers and other misc gaskets.I did get in my new lq4 maf along with my injectors and some other gaskets.
