Got some more work done today.

Since I was removing the K-Member, I decided to use the factory strut tower along with some come along straps to help hold the motor. I put them near the ends where it had more support from the towers. Worked perfect!



The crank pulley has 3 bars that I used 2 of them to hook to.


With the engine supported, I unhooked the steering and dropped the K-Member.


That left room to pull the oil pan off so I can have fittings put in properly without punching holes in it and using the tap. I am not a fan of that technique.




By removing the K-Member and motor mounts, it made it much easier to get to the headers. For the passenger side I had to CAREFULLY coerce the A/C line a little to get to the front bolt. But it went easy enough with little drama.






Here's a good shot of the front factory Wideband O2's.


That's all for now. Will keep updating as things come together.
