Re: Project X



Note the nice new China made exhaust manifolds... I was pissed cause the Ebay ad said they had the heat shield, and when I got it ...It didn't , so I tried chatting with a rep online and he kept telling me it never said that , even after I gave him the link AND quoted the exact phase from the ad, so I told him screw it, I'll wait 7 days and leave negative feedback. I really didn't care it was not on there , its just the fact that is stated it came with one.


Bell housing after a couple of hours with wire brushes and a dental pic. Painted with Cast Aluminum paint

Cast Iron paint


I like this cast Iron paint, It matches almost perfect with the brand new Manifolds

Just about ready to swing in

New clutch and pressure plate.

Nice clean bell housing

And she's in.. It was a pain trying to get the trans lined up with the bellhousing, So I'm back and forth under the truck trying the get everything line up Then I see the frigging transmission isn't even bolted to the crossmember...RRRRRR After a few choice words I got a bolt in the trans mount and lowered the jack from the front of the trans and it slipped right in....
