so please tell me i'm not the only guy who no matter how slow you go, how careful you are and how hard you try you still spill trans fluid all over the floor when you take it off man that got me steamed. i've pulled a lot of motors in my day and it never fails grrr. anyway
so i sold my 3.4l turbo fiero project this weekend(getting picked up next weekend) so i spent the evening cleaning up the barn and moving things around to get it out.
now that i've sold that project i can start my kit car project. this is a one off car... no other in the world tube chassis, ls turbo motor porsche trans-axle, weighs about 2100lbs... ya its going to be fast this will be my fill time while working on the corvette till spring.
so this is how much i was able to pull today in between the moving things around. to be honest when i spilled the trans fluid... i got ticked and called it a day lol i pride myself on a clean floor in my barn and that spill really .... really sucked.

also moved the car over for its parking spot for the winter while i work on everything.

Hey guys, haven't done all that much lately. Selling the fiero project has me rearranging the barn for winter and making room to start my kit car. I did take a few moments today to wet sand and clear coat my hood and paint rotors. In a couple weeks i should be back on it quite heavy.

well been busy getting ready for winter lately so haven't been doing much. I did have a few extra minutes today so I started pulling the motor apart. I'm still undecided as to how/what I want to do to this motor... 383, cc503 and top end goodies, turbo bla bla bla lol i just don't know yet.

done taking the motor apart and will be taking it up to the machine shop within the next week or so. started cleaning up some of the motor parts and repainting them as well. going to start porting the heads and intake asap.
