Drivetrain Ready to Assemble


Today I am getting my drivetrain ready to assemble, I'd take pics but not much to see besides a few parts cleaned off. New oil in the 2.9, new filter, bought a push start ignition

If you look at the pics of the transmissions on pg3, Im choosing the case caked in grease. Its an M5R1 although the actual part number calls it a E97A, its the transmission the guy in Long Beach had in his ranger (you don't see his ranger on any threads because he is afraid of getting type-blasted), but he is upgrading his motor to a 302 and a transmission to match it.

Spent the better part of this afternoon scraping grease off the trans, hope to have a vid of the thing firing up by next weekend!

Making my own engine hoist






Today I bought a truck boom in lew of a full engine hoist because I figured I could make the stand myself with some leftover heavyduty C Channel steel I had from a previous trailer project. Here is the result ... enjoy.
