i know max is for sure *you better* and that would make who else?

 

I am working on Saturday, but will be coming up on Sunday. Joe will hopefully be along as well. I still have some questions about the swap. Are we using the original motor's intake (ie manifold and carb) and if so, do you already have the gaskets for the switching that. and an exhaust manifold gasket is also a given. Just checking.

Catch ya later,
James

PS. Will need directions and phone number as the days grow closer. Shoot me a pm. Bye

 

girlfriends prom, sorry

 

So is it Sat or Sun?

 

i dunno i wanna say sat....but maybe it'll roll over depending on junk....still goin fishing with me right max?

 

Actually you need a whole change over set, but the bare neccessities would be intake and exhaust... Unless the motor is complete with the water pump and everything on the motor..

The international barbecue festival is here this weekend, and that rules me out. Too bad you werent in Evanville and not indy... Thats quite a haul for me..

 

yea done the motor swap a few times... things to get. intake gasket and water o rings, exh. man. gasket, hoses, oil metering line ALWAYS bust, antifreese, oil, filter if you got the $$ you might want to slap in a new clutch , throw out bearing and pilot bearing. sorry im in ATL. Ga so im not gonna help but if i was closer id be all over it.

 

Shes got the chick car man LOL Automatic Just joking RX-7 girl...

By the way, this other motor is it a manual or auto? Just trying to determine if air power and a 3/4" impact is needed..

 

the other motor was on a manual.....and leave my car alone!

 

Sorry ms. rx-7girl So how do we propose to get this nut off? And do you have an engine lift. Im PM'ing people to see if I can meet them somewhere along the way and snag a ride

 

You should do a tranny swap while youre at it.

 

I'll be up there on Sunday with James(95 MarkVIII)

 

So it looks like Super Sunday Swapathon 2002 !

 

I should be well prepared, I just started my first swap tonight

 

yeah.....umm mike what nut are you talking about? the new engine doesnt have a nut on it?

 

He means the Giant Flywheel Nut. It is very difficult to remove without the proper tools. I believe its 25MM, but I can't recall right now without looking it up.

Since you have an Automatic right now, and the other engine is a Manual, you will have to swap the flywheels and/or counterweights to make it balance properly. (I don't recall if they 12A flywheels had the counterweight "built in" or if it was removable.

 

Im referring to that big *** 54mm nut holding the flywheel on that manual 12A. Im not sure either if the automatics flexplate bolts to the counerweight or not, if its like this cosmo then you got 1 more 54mm to take off. But I can assure you, if its got the nut. You got 2 of them to take off. And question 2 is DO you have an engine lift? I can bring the 54mm socket and 3/4 impact, and I have a lift here, but someone better have a truck. Now the air compressor is a different story...W/o the proper tools we will be pissing in the wind for a little while....

 

Ok, who forgot to mention Mother's day is this Sunday?
Guess I will be out on Sat, hope you got all the tools ready

 

ok so heres what im guessing? if you guys are coming out on sunday and max is coming on saturday...then....max and me can start the ready for removal process and then when you guys come on sun we can finish it....hey max will you get me the parts and where to buy them at for the rat nest removal?

 

if you wanna remove the rests nest, just go to Auto Zone, in the "Help" section, and get a couple different sizes of vaccum caps. I'll bring a couple extras I have on Sunday.

 

hey i need what area ya'll are comin from so i can give you some directions

 

well me and James are coming from Louisville....probably up I-65.

 

I should get there around 11-noon'ish

 

alrighty....hehe ill pm you directions tonight joe...im gonna check the forcast tonight too...cuz if its gonna rain we might be stuck until next weekend

 

stuck? baa, its just water. do like i did, pitch plastic from the roof to the hood or work under the car so your legs get soaked. wish i could make it up to help but i have no $$ to travel. indy is pretty far for me.
