engine and transe put in seperately- for those who wonder-

















GOD it looks good finally in the bay!! Gotta clean the piss out of all the wires, and than it's time to hook everything back up - gotta put the drive shaft on, the alternator brack alternator, power steering brack, power steering pump, ac bracket, ac comp, hook up everything and put in fan shroud, pulleys, fan, radiator, and cold air intake, upper cobra polished plenum, and other than that, odds n ends, tuning, grounds, everything is almost done- we'll be doing more next weekend, probably put the front of the engine together, and maybe the intake - hopfully! Post any comments!!!

The grungy distributor takes a little away from it.

All that time and effort has paid off. All you have to do is button it all back up and you'll be set.


You've officially been pimped lol.

valve covers are not the stock ones, they are exactly the same though - they are chrome - that distributer is no worry, hasn't been cleaned yet, and it will be painted the beige that my alt, ac comp, and all the front brackets are -

I think it would be cool if the Dist was painted to match the car

thanks for all the compliments - yea thats a stock T-5, when i blow it, i'll get either a world class, or a tremec - but i can't afford it as of now - in my final product thread when it is done, i'll put all the parts and what i paid for them (round about) along w/ the pics - so far i think it's a little over $4,000 cuz of all the stupid little **** that adds up - if i didn't replace everything little like those air temp sensors in the intake, ALL gaskets (given), starter, bolts, stuff of that kind that are small, but important - cause this is my daily driver, i don't wanna have a new motor, and 3000 miles later, my Air temp sensor go bad and i have to trouble shoot - though i havn't replaced the fuel pump yet - but thats sure to come after i run it almost out of gas lol

very nice man. Iam the same way. I am like a pck rat with new parts, waiting until I have every little thing brand new to install. Otherwise you run into all those little problems during installation or down the road.
