AZ engine drop in!

[CAPT_BLOTTO]

So its finally happening! The engine is going in. I'm picking up the tranny on Friday. So if any guys want to come with, otherwise lets pick a date to drop this in.

I could do it pretty much any Friday or Saturday. What works for you guys?

And I'll have some beer (tell me what you guys want) and we can grab lunch/dinner.

My address now is 2306 W Olla Ave. Its the 101 and Guadalupe in Mesa.
# is 480.452.6975

With everything apart, you should pull the subframe, and bolt it all together out of the car and then drop the car onto the engine/trans

[fige]

is that easier and doable in 1 or 2 days?

[Lucky the Smiling Pirate]

if it's friday, i'm almost certainly in.

got plans saturday.

[Krisverde]

Maybe. I am off thursday-sunday so I just may show up.

[turbo2door]

Im off Saturday and would love to help and maybe meet the rest of you finally.

[CAPT_BLOTTO]

Do you guys want to do it this Saturday? Or the week after?

[tryingbe]

I can't go or do anything 'til my car is done.

The engine hoist is to hold the car. Bolt the control arm/strut back on after.

[fengler]

that is awesome

[thelostartof]

I will prob be out of town this weekend, maybe, still up In the air. Either way dropping the subframe gives you a ton more space to bolt up 85% of the stuff. Makes lots of the engine and trans parts go back together wasy

[CAPT_BLOTTO]

I don't know. It wasn't very hard to pull out the top but it seems like you just have to bolt and unbolt more stuff by going in the bottom.

If Harry's hoist is preoccupied do you know of anywhere to rent one?

[CAPT_BLOTTO]

on second thought would that make the axles easier to put on if the struts are dropped with the sub frame? If that's the case then were gonna do it your way.

[Lucky the Smiling Pirate]

if you have a truck to haul it and you do it when im available, you can use my hoist.

[CAPT_BLOTTO]

I do have a truck available, and I'm think im gonna do it next week.

[Lord_Athlon]

Sat and im in.

[Krisverde]

If it's this week I won't make it. Ill be in Washington till sunday.

[rancidponymilk]

I'll be at firebird raceway all day this saturday.

[CAPT_BLOTTO]

Tomorrow I'm getting the tranny and I think I'll be doing it next saturday. But i work till 1. I might try to leave early though.

[CAPT_BLOTTO]

ok i got that saturday off. SO the 18th. Its going down. WHo's coming?

[Lord_Athlon]

Ill be up there tomorrow. The 18th is Club Crawl, and the 19th is Franz Ferdinand.

[CAPT_BLOTTO]

You're in phoenix today?

[CAPT_BLOTTO]
