Well I was going to drop the sub frame but found I couldnt get the body high enuf. So that was a no go lol.
Papa, yes I will be swapping in a new cluster once all is finished. The new one will reflect the engines mileage, the old engine has 205k on it, My plans for the old one is to turn the block into a coffie table and the heads are going to be turned into a lamp. So I won't be getting rid of the Stock heart. Lol

I seee.....must be a bitch to take stuff off with the engine still in there.....like taking the bolts off the torque converter.....i can't imagine that would be much fun Or the bolts on the back of the tranny....once the subframe was out everything was cake from there on out. My buddy lives on a farm so he had a tractor he could lift my car up with. Keep up the good work!

Dam that was a effin pita. So as of 445 this friday morning I'm 99% done the engine is in the car every thing is plugged in and plumbed, just gotta stalk the hell out of the mail guy, he's delivering my tce crank sensor kit, after that fire it up, it did turn the moter with the starter after I was finished ans she sounds nice and strong.
I'm exhausted I worked on it all day yesterday and pulled a all nighter to finish it off , I'm going to be taking video of the first fire up. Dam mail man needs to hurry his ass up. Lol. I'll post pix tommorow

Wow....it sounds like you've made some good progress. I'm not sure who you bought your crank sensor kit from or if you bought the MMS swap kit, but it took several weeks after ordering before mine arrived because some of the parts had to be machined, so just be aware unless you've been in direct contact with your supplier to verify it's already been shipped. I can't wait to hear how your initial start-up goes.
I'll be gearing up to install my LX9 within the next two weeks after I get the sway bars from PFYC....then let the fun begin!

WHY would you order from MPracing? Have you not paid attention to all the HORRIBLE reviews on here about them? Good luck. Should have gone with milzy or wot
