I probably won't have any help putting mine in and didn't taking it out. Is it rough putting it in by yourself?Quote:

Having RY-WORX in the house tomorrow to clean up wiring and final touches...

i aint gonna lie it was hard man, balancing a 500+lb motor on top of the bay and one hand controlling the pressure release valve on the hoist while u guide the engine in place and securing the mounts down as the motor rests. Yea it was tuffQuote:

And freshend up the gear selector.

Bay looks great Martin, what type of fuel line are you using?
Using Gates e85 compatible push lock hoses
looks better and better every time i look
I got a small hiccup, so i removed and re inserted the gear selector on top of the tranny, and ya know how it move forward and back to select gears, well when in neutral the thing wong go up or down smoothly, its pretty hard. Is it normal.
Hmm. So sure it should be hard per say but do you think it could be because you haven't driven it in a while? And do you have oil in the trans? The fears could just be slightly out of alignment with the synchros and hubs while it's sitting still.Quote:

What intercooler is that btw?
^What he said, I meant to ask you that yesterday.
It's an SRT intercooler (swift racing technologies), the intercooler was part of their version 2 kit for the 8th gens.
