FYI that looks like the same lift I used to pull the motor from the bottom. Car is pretty light without the K member/engine/tranny/front suspention still siting on the floor.

Harbor freight 1 ton lift worked fine. Infact it had a tuffer time picking up the v6/tranny as a units then it did picking up the front of the car.

 

yeah, well like I told Wham, it's too late now . After all, hindsight is 20/20. I'll keep that in mind next time I have to pull the motor...which hopefully isn't for a very long time lol.

 

just a little update. I got home from school last night, and my new transmission was waiting for me:



check out the ghetto packing job lol:


here's a pic of the (almost)-finished interior:


I also switched out the stock taillights for the tinted ones that are on the '94. I'll try to get better pics as soon as I can.

 

headers came in the mail today too! woot!

 

forgot to add one thing: the reason we needed a new transmission.



notice the GAPING hole in the bellhousing. The crack goes all the way around to the other side. I have no idea how it happened, we just found it like that when we dropped the trans before removing the engine.

 

just ordered these today:

 

Very nice work on the Camaro so far! That's always been one of my favorite colors on the 4th-gens, too. I'll be looking forward to the progress pics.

 

'OBJECTS IN MIRROR ARE MUSTANGS' LOL

Camaro's do tend to outperform an equivalent mustang - it doesn't hurt to remind people of this fact.

 

BTW you are truly dedicated taking on a project of this size. I'm happy I bought a car that's almost the way I want it.

 

got the exhaust manifolds off yesterday and got the headers in place (that was a pain, let me tell you ). Should be getting the trans and torque converter installed today, and we're getting gaskets for the headers tonight so we can install them correctly.
