Author Topic: A,B,or C Fostang ¯ Member # 3752 posted                              Trying to put in new motor in this turd cyrcle. Tranny is a 5 speed that is in there already along with the long tubes. Should I A: remove them and bolt them on the motor so I can drop it all in a unit. B: Just the remove the bellhousing and long tubes. or C: leave it all there and drop the motor in with the stuff out of the way. I'm trying to avoid the headache long tubes cause. ie starter and actually bolting them on also with the tranny and being able to reach the bolts. Any ideas suggestions? -------------------- 67' Fastback TT 408 67' Camaro Lsx 64' Corvette Fuelie 57' Chevy Bel Air Lsx 68’ Pony Convertible 66’ Pony Coupe Posts: 3012 | From: Stockton/Danville | Registered: Nov 2003  |  : two-gun kid2 ¯ Member # 5891 posted                              C. leave it all there and drop the motor in with the stuff out of the way.

Usually goes in easier for me that way. -------------------- 89 LX Notchback ex 4cyl, 14psi 02 Harley F150, 15psi Posts: 8521 | From: Fairfield | Registered: Jul 2003  |  : Fostang ¯ Member # 3752 posted                              Well said fuck it and did C.
