Re: Any Tips for Installing a Trans?
Thanks all. I have a 2500 lb hoist and the guy down the street has a load leveler I can borrow. When I sold the stock 302 three of us pulled the engine and trans out in one unit. Actually, only two of us really knew what we were doing. Ever have that happen? didn't think so...
For some reason I never thought of doing the engine first and then the trans, but it seems like a good idea to stabilize the motor and wiggle the trans around to fit.
I just got a call from Strange Engineering and my rear end assembly and brakes are ready to ship. Almost ready to rock and roll. been working on this since last September.
While on the subject of putting things together, any tips on installing long tube headers? I was thinking of laying them in the engine bay over the motor mounts and bolting them up with the engine in place but still chained to the hoist in case I have to move things. Installing them with the motor in looks like it requires removing the motor mounts one at a time and working from under the car.
Ideas? I haven't picked them out yet. Probably Hedman.
