[QUOTE="matthayn, post: 15095236, member: 121241"] Update: I have had two set backs over the last couple weekends. Here is the first, what looks to a be homemade head cooling mod. While I knew this engine had the head cooling mod, I didn't realize how the previous owner had done it... pretty jank stuff if you look closely, lol! The stock pipe on the right appears to have been welded into and was leaking (see previous pic of engine bay, look at firewall), and the piece on the left looks like it was fab'd - not very well. [ATTACH=full]665152[/ATTACH] So another one of these was on order, by the way if you need one of these pieces, they are obsolete through Ford but there are still some out there to be had through dealers... [ATTACH=full]665153[/ATTACH] Ready to drop in [ATTACH=full]665154[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]665155[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]665156[/ATTACH] Aaaand it's in. Now let me tell you guys something. MMR notes that their oil pan setup works with all aftermarket k members... What they don't tell you is that it DOES NOT FIT WITH A STOCK K MEMBER. With more research on their pan I would have found a thread or two out there stating this, but I guess you live and learn. Had I known before I could've notched the part I needed out in a few minutes no big deal, but instead I had to lay under the car on the ground for a good while with a small grinder and the engine almost in until I had ground away the lip that was in the way of the oil pan sliding in. I hope this info helps someone in the future! Edit: MMR told me there should have been clear instruction with the pan in the box stating how the k member needed to be notched, there wasn't any paper or anything in my box :/ oh well. On to my second setback. [ATTACH=full]665157[/ATTACH] Wasn't expecting that one. Any ideas on what could cause this? No other damage to trans, luckily. All the missing teeth were on the magnets. This input shaft does not appear to be a tremec unit, thinking that has something to do with it. I have a tremec 26 spline on the way, hopefully I'll have everything in the engine bay back together by this weekend, and when the shaft arrives it's go time! [/QUOTE]
