Daniel looked and didn't have a 26-pin like the first picture. So if you can take a look and see maybe, it would help a lot.

Spent an hour on Friday finishing the mounting for the E/W crossmember, got the driveshaft in, and the axles installed.

Just need to tighten down the axle nuts, and the lower mount bolt for the strut to the figure 8. That will complete securing the engine set mechanically.





After this, its just making the connections, installing the radiator, fluids, and we can start her up.

Once I replace the crushed connectors that is.....

I don't why you're complaining... you traded in a 6gc for a v6 Mustang.

Chris, it looks like your new garage has been a very uplifting experience for you.

sweet. Might be worth taking it for a cruise if the snow holds out a bit longer. What're you planning next?

Unfortunately, because of the Antique plates, I can only drive her to the gas station, shop, or a show until March.

So, after I get her back together, she'll get a full tank of gas with Stabil, and we'll start talking to the body shop again.

UPDATES!!!

Played hooky from work on Friday to try to get the car together.

Started the day:


The new flywheel had a dowel that was off by a hair, making it impossible to bolt the pressure plate to the motor. I broke a bolt in the attempt to force it on mechanically.

After drilling out the broken bolt, and finding a suitable replacement in the spare parts bins, we were ready to assemble.

Semi-clean trans with the new Toyota release bearing.


With everything together, my helper and I pushed the car onto the lift and removed the E/W crossmember, with the engine impatiently waiting to go home.

I could LITERALLY hear it tapping it's foot in frustration.....

So, we quickly got the crossmember out and the car down over the engine. But first, let me take a selfie:




That's it for pictures.

We did get the engine in, the exhaust up, and the cross-members on, so now it's just buttoning up the little things.

OH, I did crush two of the body side connectors when I put the engine on it's side to assemble the engine set, so I need to find replacements before I can get the car running again.

Looks awesome Chris.

What a pain in the ass that a clutch job on these is a manadory engine removal..but you're gonna love the southbend when its all wrapped up


Also,

My movers dolly with a spare tire? Yea.... I tried just using the dolly when the engine came out, but the lift wouldn't go low enough to get it all the way down. It takes up the extra space I needed.

We have a particular runflat tire from the rear of a C5 or C6 Corvette we use, super stiff tread and sidewall works a treat to hold almost any engine or transmission.

Realistically, it's not really any more difficult than any other AWD Celica.
