Got some more done tonight, motor and trans are fully ready to come out, just have to hook up the hoist and unbolt the motor mounts. Might get that done tomorrow or sunday, got some family obligations to attend. Anyways lets get to the pics.
The middle of the 3" exhaust I had fabbed up
Those welds doe
Shifter out
Fuck this clip in particular
I like to recycle things because global warming
So glad I pulled that stupid ass tunnel blanket the last time the trans was out

Smdh should get a refund for that kind of sloppy work...
Aside from replacing the HG, what else are you doing that warranted pulling the motor?
Get a lay of the land really. I knew the headers were going to be a bitch to get off with the motor still in the car. As you saw, I couldn't even really tighten them up that well on the car. Replacing some aging coolant hoses, cleaning up the bay a bit. Also looking for a new transmission...would like to do a 6spd but I don't know if its in the budget. Getting real tired of the 1-2 50/50 grind.

Yea my packing job sending out to them was no where near that neat. $20 dollars worth of bubble wrap and boxed, then wrapped in bubble wrap and placed in another box.

So last night was dumb, my fault I guess and I don't know if it matters in the long run or not, we will find out when I put it back together. So I put the motor at TDC based off the timing mark on the crank and slap the timing blocks on the cams. Get the vanos off, get the gears off the cams, tensioner off. Go to remove the chain guide and thats when I saw it. The lobes on #1 were pointing away from each other. So I put everything back together and get the cam lobes were they are supposed to be with the timing mark and now the exhaust cam block will not go on at all, not even close. Its a schrick exhaust cam so I though maybe its just one of the bad ones but I dunno know. I kinda felt like a jackass so I just covered everything and walked away for the night. I'll go again tonight and get everything off and worry about the timing when its ready to go back in the car. Real bummer.
