Parting ways...

Big chunk of progression.... The goal was to bring it out the top of the engine bay, but that didn't work out like i wanted pulling the motor all by myself. I didn't want to bug people around x-mas time due to how heck tick everything is....

Everything unhooked and ready to be removed....

I didn't take any pics with it in the air because i was doing this myself and even after dicking around for an hr trying to get the chain right to make the motor sit parallel to the ground my engine bay was like 1/2" too narrow to get the friggen thing out. I could have removed the crankshaft bolt and it would have came out, but instead i removed the lower radiator support dropped it to the ground into the nice puddle of tranny fluid that came out. Made for a nice lubricant for the board to slide on over my tarp....

CIAO BITCH!!........Soo long 2200

Ecotec heart transplant is near....

Now comes the hard part of sand blasting the shit out of all the metal and refinishing everything....

Looks good Cody!

that is the cleanest engine i have ever seen.

Classicrocjunkie · #7 01-01-2008, 11:59 PM

How about cleanest interior ever?

LOL

and a shiny motor...

Gotta drop my exhaust, fuel tank, rear trailing arm, sub frame and then go to down sand blasting the shit out of my cars underbody and components.

I've come to the conclusion.... I no longer have love for the 4t40e...

even swapped with a jbo member my automatic and TTR solid mount for the manual trans and all the shit i need for the swap. So i think its a steal.

So are you putting a standard in your car Cody?

I can't quit either of them, i have too much left to put into this damn thing. I just got my Innovative XD-16 today tho and i should have my Griffin Radiator by the end of the week finally.

But have 2 cars with no car payments is a nice thing

Oh i know it is, thats what i learned to drive on actually and even took my road test on one. Just when i was 16 and went car shopping my parents insisted i buy this one because of insurance and the deal we got.

Almost 6 years later i'm making the car the way i feel GM should have when they came out.
