Crazier than a box of frogs on acid
Day 1 of 9
Front end off.
Then it was a matter of disconnected everything from the slitty engine. Eggsauce pipe was cut off as there was no way the manifold to eggsauce bolts were coming undone. Think they may be welded on.
Then it's out! Finally..... Been waiting for this day since i bought it
One thing I'm quite happy about is it looks like it already has a v8 clutch fork. Looks the same as the one i have sat on my bench anyway. Will check part numbers tomorrow.
So tomorrow's plan consists of cutting the battery tray out, remove the heater matrix and start cutting footwells back. Then weld footwells back up. And also cutting off the old engine mounts. Have some new mounts that i fabricated a while ago for another project which came to a halt when i bought this
Roll on Monday/Tuesday when the engine should arrive
More tomorrow
