Go to harbor freight and get the engine brace. Use a hd ratchet strap (wrapping it around the engine brace) and get the trans in the air enough for you to get under it, leaving it a few inches under where you need to be. Lift the trans like you are bench pressing it, and stab it in. Hope you get it on the dirt attempt.

Did you make an adapter to connect to the Powell bracket? Interested in this since my folding plate is warping from intercooler heat. Also not interested in getting pulled over without a plate as happened several times in my old car.

Powell sells the bracket for the license plate

Anyone know the part number for that hose? Or whole line. I tried to look for the numbers on the line but nothing came up

Snail_SS

On another note the zfr is on, on Tuesday I didn't really do anything. And today I'm not sure how much I will be able to do due to rain.




That clearance tho lol

I'm so jealous of all these builds and the progress I've seen from your car Snail. Looking good.

as far as that hose goes, id take off and take it to an autoparts store and have them match up a section and push it on to the hard lines.

That's what I'm thinking but never hurts to have oem parts haha plus I have time

Thanks man its great to be working on the car again, still lots of work to do but slowly I'll get her done. I might put the turbo on and then wait a few months to install the transfer once I have a garage but Idk yet, really depends on weather

Gemsss

Beautiful car man! Great progress so far

Yourr doing this all out in a driveway?

Snail_SS

iTrader: (3)

Yup I am I don't really have a choice, weather hasn't been the best with a lot of wind and rain. At the rate it's going I might just finish the turbo install and get a quick tune then once I have my house do the f40 swap inside my garage

Snail_SS

So I haven't updated in awhile but due to weather and other things I wasn't able to work on the car for a week but now I'm just waiting on a gasket for the oil return line since I kinda screwed up the other one lol once that's one I will install the trans mount, dp,intake and charge pipe and she should be done for the turbo.

Now for the trans I'm thinking of just waiting like a month to be able to do the swap in a garage where I don't have to worry about rain or wind. I will however install all the other stuff

you sound like me. Messing things up

Snail_SS

iTrader: (3)

Something like that, that's what happens when you start modifying parts but then a 6$ doesn't compare to a 100+ part

Lol, I mangled my gasket too. Its best to clamp it to a piece of wood when drilling it out, and dont drill it the same size as the oil return line holes you have to bore out, you will regret that! Lol. Trying to line up the gasket, bolts, return line and not drop things is a treat. I did this, and with snow melting off car all around, laying in a puddle of ice water, not fun. I'm not sure what to drill the gasket to, but do just enough the bolts thread into the gasket and hold it all together. You probably already knew this, but just saying to save you heartache

Snail_SS

iTrader: (3)

Haha yeah that's what I have planned to do I hope the gasket gets here by Saturday maybe I can start tuning on Monday since we should have 65 for a high

So small update I was about to start the car look under and what do you know I have a turbo coolant line leaking. Bad thing about that is that it's hard to get to since it's between the turbo and firewall. Let's see if I'm able to fix without taking anything off
