Updated 6/3. COMPLETE 6/3/2007
I'll keep it simple and updated often, today's my birthday. And as a b-day gift to myself. I bought a vr-4 motor from sundown13x! LOL it just happened to get shipped near it.

Anyways.

Preparation for tomorrow.

That was at 9am today :P

About 6 hours of work later, I learn that liquid wrench is my new friend. I took off all sorts of rusted and heat "welded" exhaust bolts of without to much work.

Come Tomorrow morning there will be a complete motor hanging off of there.

The month of April = completetion hopefully, and Im in the coral springs \ coconut creek area. If anyone wants to help piece back together some history I have plenty to drink and eat

Out with the old...

In with the NEW!!!

Everything pretty much assembled,I just finished doing the timing. I hella took my time... Too bad I broke my 15 dollar special pulley tensioner tool

Mmm 3sx underdrive pulley

Had my friend gut some cats whilie we waited for parts to arrive.

Next big thing on the list for this weekend is repairing my wire harness,

Oh man, when I was tightening the Flywheel bolts to spec, the flywheel was turning everything counter-clockwise, and I didn't think much of it. I had a bad feeling once the engine was in the car, I decided to check the timing belt for slack, and what do you know SLACK!!! and a decent amount of it... I nearly threw up, then remember, the flywheel, so I stuck a 22mm socket onto the crank pulley bolt and turned everything and checked timing. Everything lined up and the tension was returned perfect, oh man was that a freaking scare...

And then I scratched my beautiful 3sx underdrive pulley a lil dropping the engine in.

UPDATE SHES ALIVE!!

Pics before the running.

I will get a sounds clip tomorrow after I fix a coolant leak. Thank you to all that helped!!

I think it might be the vr-4 that got into a really bad rear end collision/flip that sundown was trying to part out for his buddy.
