Make sure you have both of those transmission alignment dowels installed.

Good catch I totally overlooked the other side missing it

Glad I could help. I’ve seen transmissions destroyed because of those being gone, and all sorts of vibration issues.

I just realized the passenger side has the dowel still in it on the transmission, guess I’m going to have fun trying to extract that

Intake and long tubes came in today

I had that same cai on my last 02 gt. Within a few weeks the air filter fell off in the fenderwell with the maf causing running issues. Took me a bit to figure it out lol. My advice is to get a proper reducer for the intake tube to maf. And if you have anything bigger than the stock tb you’ll need an adaptor for that as well.

What headers are those?

I actually just realized this intake is for the Bullitt ‍ I got the wrong damn intake

BBK

Cool. I had a set of them on my 2v and they fit pretty good. You have to pull the passenger side header to get the trans out in the car, but that’s typical. I don’t recall them hitting anywhere though.

 

[sn95jones]

Went to go install my headers this morning and the bolts won’t fit on cylinder #7 due to not having enough clearance… contacted BBK and they acted like they never heard of this sort of problem.

If you have the oem studs use those instead.

I don’t but I’m going to the parts store later to get them

I’ve never installed headers on a 2v but I’ve read other people needing studs on certain primaries because of this or to make installation easier.

Yep had to get studs for cylinder #7 but I got them on

Found me some restored gray leather seats for $350! I can finally get rid of those ugly cloth seats
