Did you cheat by cutting the radiator support? I have known people that take the engine out the front, but ya have to take alot off. Looks like Eddy b is getting it done!

[OldSkoolRCR]

No cheating, it was already cut.

[Deimos]

lol I got my engine and tranny in through the top on mine with a centimeter to spare only later to cut the radiator support. Talk about making life harder for yourself.

[Rogue86]

Looking Good!

That's what I figured. Looks good. The rest of my suspension pieces are from UMI. That's probably the K member I'm going with before I throw my motor back in. Any complaints with it? I assume you got the tubular front control arms too?

I believe the wiper motor is supposed to be where the cowl is clearly cut out :biggrin: So whats the new powerplant?

Oh no! It has functional wipers, Its a N20 built 4xx cubic in, with a new set of CNCd heads, more compression. Nothing special, just a buget build. hopefully low 9s.

No, but you could lift the front of the car with an engine hoist....

Yep. We did it in my garage that way.

[69gt4speed]

^ Yea I suppose sparkles although my garage ceiling is low maybe 7 ft that is it. I also have seen those cross brace bars to hold the engine while you pull just the k member. And to put on hdrs.

[sparkles]

Yeah, I got that same problem. Low ceiling. Hopefully a new garage in the spring will fix that.

[Deimos]

must be nice to have money

Post up some pics, my friendly coworker ford guy has a super deluxe pole like garage w a 4 post lift and also can store another car up top w another car underneath. He is planning on a 2nd 4 post lift. Must be nice, his wife makes a good amount of $ also, unlike mine. This guy just now needs a good car imo. He has some fiat sports car he barely fits in and a early like falcon, a comet and late 70's bronco w a bbf swap.

[sparkles]

must be nice to have money

It's the first time in 10 years that I can actually say that I'm comfortable, and if I want to buy some parts for my car online, I don't have to ask permission, save up for 3 months by eating cold reconstitued meat sandwiches for lunch, work 70hrs a week, and sell off 9 things just to by 1, just to get it. I'm by no means a big baller like Joe, but I consider myself pretty lucky and fortunate in the money aspect of things. I can't wait to see what it's like when I'm not paying child support for 3 kids to 2 different women. My wife makes decent money, but it's nothing to brag about. I myself probably make more than I should for the amount of work I actually produce, but I spend a lot of hours off the clock, answering calls, fixing other peoples problems, driving all over the state, managing 16 employees that don't know the first damn thing about wiring a house let alone a 200 unit senior center, and doing a lot of oddball things that come up. So, I don't feel bad about it at all. Especially beings how the construction industry is hit and miss. You can be busy for 2 or 3 years beyond belief, and the next 2 years you have to take a job installing dishwashers just to get by.
