I didn’t remove the firewall insulation. Had I done this one simple trick we would not be seeing the engine out of the car.

Blame me for all the pain and suffering

Why did you end up pulling it?

Insulation was still present on trans tunnel, couldn’t get to the hardware, loosening mounts and tilting motor until it hit firewall was not giving me enough room

sans insulation and it could’ve stayed put

Might aswell throw a big turbo on it while its out.

Guess that means mine will have to come out as well...

I ended up tilting and pulling the motor enough to where I could get to the hardware on the back of the block. Then slipped the trans off. 

So it doesn’t necessarily need to come all the way out, but reinstalling with the engine dangling would be quite annoying

With autox events passing me by like crazy I really need to wrap this up. 

Mtx-L shows up today, fluids and other jazz Friday, already have shifter, have all the necessary sensors now and distribution blocks for oil psi/temp. I’m running out of things to order and my excuse list is getting shorter. 

Pic to remind me of what I’ll be forever co-driving if I can’t get the black car finished this century

This is essentially sold at this point. I really want to give the m52/zf/3.25 combo a fair shake. I think it’ll be just as fast if not faster than the s50/zf/2.93 combo for what I use the car for

Turner Motorsport headers and BummerWorld exhaust should be here sometime this week. At this point I have a pile of stuff waiting to go on the car. Just need a pile of motivation

See, now you're putting a lot of pressure on me to make the right decision

Lol. Drunk sim racing still sounds fun. Just make sure your coworker doesn’t pick a hotel in Egypt this time
