No prob buddy, glad to help out. Can't wait to see you get that bad boy out of the garage, then the real fun can start with your car

NICE!

I need to come get that 2g head from you soon to fix my car.

now you jinxed it! 8)

some good pics! o and i spy my tummy

I've never put a trans is with the engine...wonder if that's possible on a 1G???

yea and zack standing there doing nothing as usual!!!!

yes it is. much easier

i was amazed how easy it went in makes me alot less scared of pulling my motor when the time comes.

and zach was def doing something! talking and talking lol

on the 1g just unbolt the tranny mount through the wheelwell

Yup it is easy. We did it 2.5 times in one race weekend at Gateway back in the NOPI days. Pulled the race setup out. Pulled Brad's setup out and installed into the race car. The next day pulled Brad's setup out of the race car and put it back into his car.

Of course these comments inspired me to do the majority of the work putting my car back together.

im glad we could help u standard:P lol

Great project threads Patterson! Glad to see the wifes car back together.

I was also surprised to see the trans go in together with the engine. Considering I've done that with V8 about 20 time, I don't understand why that seems odd.
