There is something to be said for planning. Have you ever done mods to your car.... just to have to undo them to do something else? That seems to be my way of doing things on this car.
Friday evening I started to pull the stock motor. I realized that I needed to unbolt the driver's side LTs since the steering shaft had the tubes built around it in the initial install. Back then I had stripped the front end and was installing the MM K-member.....so nothing was in the way. After getting that done I started to hoist on the motor and found out that there was no way the tubes were going to clear the K-member on the passenger side either! :cuss: I left the motor hanging like that through Saturday while giving Jason a hand with his IRS. Sunday afternoon I got back to it and had to unbolt the LTs on the passenger side. Once that was completed it was a matter of insuring all the wire connections undone and the motor came out clean.
What a maze of wiring! Whatever happened to a starter wire and ground?
Now to put the factory motor to bed.
LOL!! Sure hope I can remember where everything goes!
