Hey everyone, I got the motor in Saturday(from 7:30am to 6:00pm though). Dad
helped me line up the tranny with the engine(stupid pressure plate grrrrr)
but other than that it was pretty much a solo act. Not bad for a 22 year old
who hates working on foreign motors and front wheel drives huh?(not that my
mustang was much easier ugh!). Anyways it seems to run well, I had to replace
the rear main seal and changed out the Cam Position Sensor since I had a new
one on the motor with the bad valve stem seals that I'd just pulled.
Hopefully it will pass smog now too! I'm going to drive it a bit tomorrow,
throw the scanner on it, and if it comes out clear I'll take it to my buddy
and see if it passes smog. If not....well....well it'll pass! Just thought
I'd throw this out there, take care everyone. -Steve Bowen
p.s. it sure is nice to have soft leather seats and a stick shift again.
mustang has flofit's(hard) and an auto(commute car).
