well here it is. the day i got it
got my size "bigass" socket
got the intake manifold off, and the fuel system off.
and how it sits now
sorry for the crummy pictures, camera broke =\
probably take off the rest of the intake today
going out probably tomorrow and getting a big breaker bar for the flywheel nut. seeing as how i only weigh 135, i doubt i can muscle it, haha. i'll keep you guys posted =)

as i was searching around for results of a 6 port bridge, i was wondering, should i just go with a 6 port street port template, and then bore out the port even more?
i know pineapple and stuff makes the 6 port templates for street port, and i know you CAN bridge 6 port engines, but at far as power with reliability should i just do a 6 port monster street port or 6 port street port template, then add the bridge myself?
sorry if that was confusing

that's true... so i guess just monster street port? is it possible to get a 4 port template and use it on a 6 port? i mean, really the only thing that would be untouched is the 5th/6th port right?

So what have you tried? How do you stop the flywheel from spinning? A cold chisel and a good size hammer can be used to spin the nut loose. Some times the nut gets beat up bad. Get a new one for assembly, it'll be easier the next time then. Remember how soft your thumb is

Use the chisel on the corner of the nuts to spin it off. You will cut a gouge in the nut but that gives you a better bit. The impact on the nut will break it loose so you can spin it off. Make sure you're going the right way!

Chisel method can take a long time, but it does work.

well i still haven't gotten it off, but i tore the block apart, all that's left is the flywheel bolt to get the e-shaft out of the rear housing. front housing looks pretty dang good, a little gouging on the rotor, but nothing too bad. i'll take pics tomorrow, sleepy =p Night guys!

Who's making the engine/ trans mounts? I have a TE72 and and extra motor and tranny. Fabbing mounts is the only thing stopping me from tearing out the 3TC in favor of a stock 6 port.
