haha yea man .. it sure does .. but im not gettin tired or the journey .. its so much fun looking forward to everything and all the new things that will come of this

haha 20K... lol yea its deff some where it there .. you got me curious and now im gonna have to sit down and figure all this out lmao

lol it was pretty all out the 1st time around ..but yea going even bigger this time around .. and here in TX you are not obligated to spend the money in any certain way ... so they can follow all they want haha,.. but good luck to them

 

When u did the 5 spd swap. what other part u have to get other than the 5 spd trans and conversion kit?

 

To do the 5 speed swap i didnt buy a kit or anything ...i just got all the pieces ...but its the :
5 speed
shifter
Shifter base
Trans mount
Shifter cables

...but if you look on ebay you can get lucky and score the shifter/base/cables already assembled ...and make things way easier

 

I saw one on ebay the other day...time to go shopping.

What about flywheel and clutch? I was searching but no one mention anything about it. can i just re-use the one from 6 spd?

 

haha yea i got super lucky with mine because it came with a BR short shifter lol and all solid base and cable bushings .. granted i already had the bushings but my buddy appreciated me throwing him the other set lol

and yea man clutch and flywheel are good to go .. not a single change needed just enjoy the amazing new power band and not having to shift every 5 seconds lol .. oh and not having a trans made out of glass lmao

 

oh and in reusing your old clutch i would verify it is in good condition .. and if it will handle your future power plans .. cuz while the trans is out is the best time to replace it .. save your self some time and labor fees and money overall .. i learned that the hard way lol

 

cool man, thanks for all the info. I'll keep checking back for the update.

 

yea man, Np anytime, any questions... and just about to do one now.

 

ok so today we got the old block, trans, and tcase out...power washed the engine bay... finished the long block... put the new Quaife LSD in the T-case... but again another snag .. when we were tearing the old block down, taking the trans off and checking the clutch it turned out one of the clutch disks and the spline hub near that disk were all jacked up and had to be replaced ..so the prevented the whole thing from being bolted back up and fired up .. but oh well tomorrow should be the 1st break in day.. get the new clutch parts button the drive train up and get her ready to rock ... just hope those parts dont take all day to come in lol and make me wait for nothing while other things could be gettin done haha

 

so here are some pics of all the damage to the block .. and the fail of the Exedy Triple Disk :/

 

Ok so today's update is prob on of the best and one of my most excited to post .... got the long block buttoned up, got the clutch issues all fixed, got the t-case bolted up, new motor mounts on and the engine, trans, t-case all installed... got everything hooked up to the engine, turbo and piping all bolted up, and got the 1st start on the new motor started right up no issues All that is left to do is downpipe, front axles, throw the wheels on, a few gauges and break that motor in!! tomorrow is gonna be a cruising day!!!
