Hmm.... I don't know Shady. But I'll take your word for it. Maybe you can demonstrate when we're in Cali.

Apollo, I cut out the front radiator support on the turbo Z and just pulled the engine up and forward.
Now, I installed the engine with no leveler by myself but the T5 was already in the car.

why does every one thing you need a leveler. With trans, i pulled engine. and dropped it back in. went in as easy as pie.

you really dont need a leveler, just make the front chain short and the back long, you need as much angle as possible, the leveler just adds conveinence. up here they only cost 30 bucks, so i have one, but its not needed. trust me, them s2000's arent all that fast and are kinda heavy (3200lbs ish). and a mustang weighs in at nearly 4000lbs, and only have 250 hp. so my 200hp and 2500lbs = faster, but not by much.

Fub... you work in a dungeon? Hehe... it's actually quite nice! Surrounded by brick just makes me think of a dungeon.

Ok, well shes coming out today! I only wanted the leveler cuz i didnt want to run into anything pulling the NA out. I plan on taking the torch to the Turbo, i mean who cares about a gross ol 2+2 anyways? And with that . . . .its time to yank her out. Pics to follow. . . .

EDIT- Nobody wanted anything from the NA ENGINE, did they? If not im taking it to the recyclers for some quick dough

I'll take the a-pillars with the screws for a decent price, I was going to get them off of snw but hasn't really gotten back to me. SO, send me a price quote if they are in nice shape!


And good luck with the turbo swap, and have some fun!

Haha, yea, tell me about it. 270k on that motor. About 40k on the alt, but mostly, if not all highway miles.

Are you going to use the T5 tranny? If so, you'll need to shorten the driveline or find a T5 2seater driveline... or have you already figured that out?
