I will be taking the car to a mechanic on Monday to get the 3.1l, trany, clutch, clutch pedal assy and shifter assy. installed so I have to have at least the basic gauges and dash in it. Plus it gives me a chance to get a preview how it will look someday. So I put the basic stuff back in.



So what do you think?

By the way what is this connector for?

It's been awhile since I updated this thread but tomorrow is the big day The Lady gets her new 3.1l engine, 5 sp getrag, new clutch, new flywheel and cradle installed!! A friend of mine is coming over to help get everything in.



I am all excited!!

Well we didn't get started as early as we wanted (1 pm). Went pretty good once we did.
First the OEM clutch. I got this from GM here in Germany for $0.00 several years ago so why not use it? The clutch didn't come with a guide pin. So we improvised with a long socket that fit just right into the clutch plate and it worked great.



Here is a pic of the guys that helped. Helmar on the left and Michael on the right.


Then we got the Trany hooked up.

Next came getting the engine assembly onto the cradle. Went great with 3 people to help lower and guide everything together.




Then we got most of the rest of the cradle back together and ready for the installation into the car.

While installing the manual trans cable tree my help decided to take a break!!



Out Cold!! BTW the cable tree is almost finished even while he slept.

Looks like he's just the right size to sleep there. Is he getting excited about riding in it?
