Alright guys im in the process of pulling my old 3.4 and putting in a L67 with the H.D. tranny,im half way there,i have everything disconnected from the engine and tranny except the motor mounts and transmission mount

The good news is I get to borrow my friends hoist for free to pull it.The bad news is I have no idea what the hell im doing when it comes time to hook up the new one,or where to get a good set up for cheap without going to the junk yard.

ive never done anything like this before,the most ive ever done to a vehicle was change the spark plugs so I can say this has been one hell of an experience,I want to thank everyone who has answered my questions and give me the info and advice I need

 

Keep up the good work!!! I have never done any of that on a newer car with all the fancy stuff and FWD.
Wish I could offer some assistance but I have yet to have to work on anything major on the 02. And I KNOW I would be lost but would start reading and watching videos and asking questions so I could do the work myself.

 

yea when I started I had no clue what I was doing,i read a few threads here and there but nothing specific and I guess im kinda lucky the current motor is trash so I didn't have to worry about tearing anything up,il probably get a Haynes manual before I put the new one in there,i just hope I can pull it off,if its a chevy I never give up on it lol

 

il probably never work on a fwd ever again after this,id rather stick to something 87' or older lol,wires suck

 

Not all RWD cars are easy to work on. Some cars tuck the back of the engine under the firewall (newer F-bodys, C5s, etc), others are super cramped to work on (300ZX TTs, etc).

 

my first truck I bought myself was an 86' chevy c10 swb,bought it for$1500 barely running (carb problems) I got the carb cleaned out,gas tank cleaned and put the widest tires I could find all the way around it,it had a bored out 355 with a mild cam,edlebrock carb and intake and a th350 3speed auto tranny,i loved that truck with a passion,and it was so easy to work on,just sold it a few months back because I blew the transmission out,but I had a paper signed by two witnesses and notarized that if he ever sells it its got to come back to me hahaha
