Congrats! One major hurdle crossed, looking forward to smooth sailing here on out

 

Thanks! I had to take another video because I was a bit excited in the first one

 

Drove it to work today...still needs the ac vacuumed down and charged. It's only $85 bux, I just need to find the time.

I haven't even reassembled my shift boot or console, I can literally see the road as I drive around LOL. It's noisy and hot in Florida with this setup. Will need to take care of asap.

 

Here's a few more pics that I didn't post.

At this step I needed to swap the crank pulley and didn't have the factory flywheel stop tool.

I went to home depot and bought a length of steel. I drilled 2 holes in it and used the alternator bracket to create a wrench. I had two bolts tightened down. The steel bar up front jammed under the frame and the alternator bracket in the rear behind the pulley.

I was able to use a 1/2 2ft long breaker bar with my jack handle and break the bolt lose. It took a ton of effort to remove! I read the torque specs in the manual and it states 33 ft lbs...that's crazy.






After that it was smooth sailing...

 

Great work! Wish I knew about your thread earlier, I could of lend a helping hand. Where locally are you located? I'm in the Waterford area.

 

Thanks! I live in Deltona, it's about 15 minutes from Sanford and work in Heathrow. That would have been nice as I did almost everything myself

Would be nice to get some people together for a cruise.
