Need to talk to some people about a roof rack :-D

Here in the hood, Vince the 244 came by and had a lens re-adhered :cool:

Hope you all are hanging in there! :nod:
 
Got the trans loose from the b230ft. It's leaking pretty profusely out of both ends. Good time to clean it up and replace some seals :nod:

Are you removing stuff with the worlds biggest torque wrench? Misusing tools, I would never do that :-P. That trans needs a pressure washer! Good to see progress..

If I ever have a wrench that large, please stop me and ask what I'm doing :lol: It's a Harbor Freight work light. Trans is ready for loving :nod:

Haha, ok then. Unfortunately I have needed a wrench that large recently, 6 ft long pipe on my 1/2" breaker bar to remove lugnuts from my fiances car!! Who the hell cranked them on?

Trans will love a good cleaning!
 
Torque wrenches will be coming into play soon. Gotta put this thing back together in the 240 :cool: Getting both engines on stands and swapping the distributor is my next hurdle (after lots of pressure washing :nod: )

Been playing with the 740 airbox and some intercoolers we have around. Pretty sure we can make the airbox fit really nice and slick :D The stock intercooler will get the car running. We'll come up on an upgrade someday I'm sure :cool:

Hydraulic mounts are off of the B230FT. Gave it a quick pressure wash and it's still dirty :lol:

I hate those hydraulic mounts, so squishy. I hated them in my Porsche also.

Bet your neighbors are wondering about all those bricks lol
 
Thought the motor mounts were blown. Turns out they're "luxury" :lol:

We're fortunate to be in a really friendly neighborhood :nod:

lunchb0x and I got the B21FT torn down a bit and on a stand. Working on the intermediate shaft swap. Wiring after that :cool:

Understanding neighbors are awesome, one of my neighbors is building a Factory Five Cobra in his garage so any car noises are fine with him, my other neighbor has a SRT Durango, Harleys, etc, not much bothers them either.

We live less than a mile from Skyline Drive, an SCCA hillclimb spot, and the Cobra guy wants to go for a "cruise" on it when our cars are done.

Lol, no "luxury" motor mounts allowed!!!
 
That's awesome :nod: Being neighborly pays off one way or another :cool:

On the luxury front: Intermediate shaft is out of the B21FT. Harness removed. Parts everywhere :lol:

B230FT is apart. Time for cleanup and reassembly, then onto wiring the 240 :nod:

Got this idea while watching Youtube in the garage. Just takes a 2x4, some drill bits, and spray paint :cool:
