lol, we can start getting serious one the car is done. Btw, a new monster clutch is going in at the same time, so now the car probably wont be ready until the end of november. We will get a few runs off before the end of the season, I guarantee that.

what the hell happened to your other clutch?

unless he is going with a "race" clutch or whatever

I damaged the pressure plate when i put the 9in in. THe 9in wasn't centered, which caused a lot of strain on the tailshaft of the trans, and I over adjusted the tick master cylinder to compensate for the hard shifting i was experiencing. Steve at monster is going to take a look at it, and if it wasn't my fault(which i'm 95% sure it is), then the replacement he's shipping me is free, if not, I'm getting a new disk and pressure plate for under half the price of a new one. You win some, you lose some. With the motor out I was going to have to swap the clutch anyway...I'd rather make sure there's nothing wrong with the clutch once the car is back together.

LOL.... You're not pulling the motor just to do a heads cam swap are you?? I'll be down in your neck of the woods Thursday running my car at a rental again. There should be a handfull of 9 second cars stop by if you want.

no, I have a complete longblock with 80K miles on it that's getting built on en engine stand....no sense in putting money into the current motor that has 185K on it.

I will try with the pics, but according to everyone here...I'll be on a time crunch. I've spoken to two people that have done it before, and they say they don't see why I can't get it done in 3 days....we shall see.

NJ346 11-09-2009 01:05 PM
just an update: Motor swap was completed in 3 full days like planned.

Only things that broke:
2 coolant lines, brake fluid level sensor, and an evap purge solenoid.


All times are GMT -5. The time now is 06:37 PM.
