Pulled my engine on Friday.

I have to give Dustin(red35) a huge thanks he came down Friday and helped me. I am a cranky MF on a good day let alone after pulling an engine into the wee hours so thanks again Dustin.
We started at about 7pm and finished up at about 3am we had a pizza break in there. Dustin had to work the next morning and drive from RedDeer back to Edmonton when we were done. All went well exept a few stretched power steering lines we missed. At 3am I was not as sharp as I would have liked to have been. I would like to post more pictures but there on Cams camera as we were taking pictures through out the process. I am still waiting on the turbos to ship and the engine should finally ship tomorrow.



The trunk loaded with all the parts and bolts were all tagged and bagged.


pulled the Brembos off as I worked a deal for some Wilwoods

It was a pretty good night. You were not to cranky gord. But by 3am i almost had enough. Getting home at 430 up at 6 was a pain. But i think it turned out pretty good for some first timers. Cant wait to put your new one in.

It went well I have done other engine pulls/swaps in the past this one was the most involved by far lots of piping(TT kit) and lots of electrical connectors. I hope the install goes as good as the pull. The new engine should have shipped today and the turbos wont be here till may


For everyone that PMed me the Brembos are gone in a trade for some Wilwoods. Sorry I didnt realize they were that hot of an item I likely could have done better selling them and outright buying the wilwoods

No one interested in the axles that are in the background??? They are both casualties of Drag Radial launches.

nice work, I pulled the tranny when I did mine. It seemed it would go back together better that way.
