damn man good progress. Didn't you just put a new Monster clutch in a few months ago?

Yea, but I was having some issues with what I thought was a pressure plate issue. Turns out the slave cylinder was leaking pretty good and contaminated the clutch.

Progress for today:
New motor completely wired
New clutch and pressure plate installed
Headers re-installed
Trans re installed
K-member bolted to the body

Left for tomorrow morning:
Wiring the harness and putting the computer back in the car.
Add all fluids
Connect coolant lines
Bleed the clutch and breaks
Connect the torque arm to trans
Bolt in drive shaft
Start it up and take it for a spin:nod:
