I know I've read the F40 disassembly instructions, but I'm having troulbe finding them in this thread. Can you post a link?
I removed the shift turret and all the case bolts... is there another step between removing the case half bolts and splitting the halves?

Once the shifter assy is removed (needs to be in neutral), remove the bolt from inside the bellhousing (see picture below), and then remove the bolts around the case. Set the transmission on the bellhousing flange and pry the gear side of the case up.

Thanks!
Yeah, right after I posted that, I found the one bolt inside the bellhousing that I'd missed... then it was cake.

Are you using a CS or DS series alternator?

Stock LS4 which I think is a CS.

Did some more digging and it is either a DS or later style. It has the 2 plug connector.

Took a little rest from the car... but slowly getting back at it.
Part of the rest was to move the MR-1 Mill into its position (remove/modify shelves, reorganize the stuff on the shelves, level the mill, and start installing the enclosure, install the lights, etc.). Still more to do before I start using it, but it needed to be moved out of the way.
Then I moved the car out from its resting spot in the side of the garage and washed nearly 4 years of dust off it.
The engine bay was also washed - not too bad for it being 10+ years since it was last painted:
Then took the console, instrument cluster and dash out so I could remove everything that I wouldn't need going forward. Primarily all the parts for the AR cruise (module, cable, pedal brackets, harness). I ordered a new pedal as I had welded some cruise brackets to the old one.
Went ahead and made the new pedal/cruise/clutch sub harness that will reside in the console area (there are 13 wires in this harness):
Fuel tank is also ready to go back in. In addition to the new/modified fuel sender unit, the 450 lph e85 fuel pump, the tank was modified with a new vent tube. It sticks about 12" into the tank and rests along the side.

Hey FieroGuru! First off, every part of this build is incredible and I can't wait to see the final result. Can I ask how did you do those decklid hinges? ------------------

Thanks!
Credit for the idea of the decklid hinge box modification goes to JefrySuko from discussions we had at the 25th Fiero Anniversary show, i just made them a reality. Here is a build thread where I showed how they are made. It has taken about 12 years, but I am starting to see more of these out in the wild. Several were at the the 40th.

I was wrong, I think they're DR.
It has a 4 terminal connector or 2 terminal?
Everything I read about the 4 terminal DR44 says that the terminals function the same as the CS130 terminals, so I'm thinking I'll run with that.
