Installed the MGW shifter which, since the TR-3550 has two forward bolts for the shifter that sit under the tunnel, required removing the trans cross member and dropping . Got the flywheel, clutch, pressure plate installed.[ATTACH=full]10446[/ATTACH] Then got the engine thrown in, bolted up.Even got the PITA headers completely installed. And a bunch of other smaller things. I didn’t stop and take photos, it was go go go all day. I’m on a bit of a time limit.[ATTACH=full]10447[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]10448[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]10449[/ATTACH] Also picked up the correct length belt. And installed the fan assembly and overflow bottle. I’m officially to the “piddly” stuff. I went ahead and filled it with oil to make sure I don’t forget later lol.I still have a pretty good amount of stuff to do. The brake system needs a prop valve still. The starter needs installed. Pinion angle needs checked and adjusted. Clutch cable needs adjusting. I need to properly install the Holley Sniper wiring. I have a full set of mechanical gauges that need installed. Still have some wiring in the engine bay that needs to come out. New mount for the alternator means I need to redo the alternator wiring a bit. Needs some hoses and things. Wiring still looks junky, so that still needs some work. Need to get the new rear lower control arms on. Exhaust will need work. One of my issues with the 1-3/4” headers I have is that the collector is a full 3”, but the flange necks down to 2.3”. Would that have made a difference? I have no idea. But I’m going to a mandrel bent 3” exhaust with x pipe and DynoMax Bullets, so I want a full, real 3” exhaust. I’m going to have the flanges cut off and V Band clamps installed.And that’s just what needs done before I take it AutoCrossing next month.</blockquote>
