I'll try rotating the assembly tonight, I should probably throw a seat in in tonight and see how it lands anyways, I'm short, so buying myself some extra reach will be a win anyways. I can notch the firewall if need be but I wanted to make sure I hadn't done anything wildly incorrectly on the...

Thanks y'all, Picture and gif of the pedal

Catching the forum back up with progress. I've changed tack a bit to focus on getting parts out of my living room. I started assembling parts from the boxes into components and getting the hardware loosely fitted to make sure I have all the parts and hardware I need. Definitely not the sane...

yeah I'm hoping it goes easy, but my driveway is a hill that rolls into a much bigger hill, so I'm going to have to be careful with it on dollies. This probably would have saved me a lot of pain lol, I had the hoses tear and need to be backed out 3 times before I got them through successfully.

Haven't updated in a while, but back to making progress: Remaining Donor Teardown To-Do: - Ripping Harness out (WIP) - Dash is out, but needs to be torn down - parking brake tubes - Fuel tank drop for pump - I don't believe I need most of the suspension, but I need to watch through the...

I've been listening through the donor prep/assembly videos today to try to understand some things, and one thing I haven't been able to understand is the AC compressor. Does it just stay in place to keep the belt tensioned appropriately? I don't think I could run a shorter belt, looks like the...

I said I was going to focus on stripping the donor, so of course I didn't do that. Picked up one of the hydraulic tables (worked perfectly, thanks for the suggestion). Once I got the engine up to eye level I could see how dirty it was so I started cleaning. I need to stop doing this for now to...

I'm planning on forging a religious relic out of them so that a deity will lead me to finding replacements. It's always safe to assume I don't know something, and I only figure things out the hard way, so thanks for the heads up :) I'll have to look into this once I get them off to see if it's...

No photos today, just some train of thought updates and questions. - Focusing on getting everything ripped out of the donor so I can get it out of the garage, and clear out a storage unit that is only holding parts for the Goblin and scrap from the donor. I got most of the interior stripped...

I'm worried less about the actual install work at the moment than I am timeline and cost to get all the parts. I don't mind taking things back apart later to make upgrades when the time comes, but I tend to lose momentum when I get bogged down in decisions. I'll get it up and running the simple...

That looks like the perfect solution, do you happen to know if you have the 500 or 1000lb version? Trying to get an idea of what the whole powertrain weighs is a bit of challenge

I don't, I was planning on getting one, but as I was debating swapping to an f23 transmission, and the subframe is specific to the transmission, I'm holding off for now.

I also need to figure out some sort of stand/bench to get the powertrain onto so I can work on it. In the downtime I decided to scale down my plans a bit, I'm shelving the tube subframe/F23 swap for now and am just going to get the car up and running on the donor subframe with the F35. All I...

Well, we're back after an extended delay. Surgery recovery took longer than expected and a wall of other projects popped up. Finally got the powertrain dropped last night, and think I only broke one thing in the process, so pretty good by my standards. Next up I need to finish removing...

Well we didn't drop the engine last night because I had to get the other half of the garage clean for this. This weekend NASCAR is at COTA and I'll be out of action next week so I think we pause building for a bit.

who gave you a live feed in my garage

Yeah I'll attempt it all with no cutting just to save the added effort, if the quick jacks can get it high enough to roll out on it's own I'll go that way. If not it's nice to have the option to cut it free. All of this is now probably getting delayed somewhat because the powder coater just...

That looks pretty doable, we'll see how it goes tonight!

If the impact can't handle the exhaust bolts quickly, I'll bust out the sawzall. I already planned on dropping it to a dolly but cutting the frame I hadn't thought about. Thanks for the tips!

Update for tonight: Dropped the subframe, and removed the radiator/condenser off the front to make removing wires easier. Engine appears to be free at this point except for the exhaust, which is taking a bath in PB Blaster for the night. I also confirmed a previous owner installed an...
