So Close yet so far away
#1
well today I finally got my motor put back in and all dewired (that took forever) got the engine bay all cleaned up. I mounted the N2O plate and noids. Connected all of the sensors put in the oil. Emptied the oil back out because the last quart I put in was transmission fluid
. The I put new oil in. Got the MSD box moved into the cab and all wired up pretty. Everything is looking great (you all know where this is going). Then it happened the last thing I had to do was mount the coil and put the bolts in to the torque converter from the flywheel. I got the coil mounted and slid under the truck to bolt up the verter and somthing was not right. At first I could not put my finger on it then it hit me why I couldnt get it to bolt up, The FING machine shop put the damn flywheel on backwards
. They balanced the motor and put it on wrong. I did learn a trick though. Take 3/8ths threaded rod and put it in on either side of the trans in the bolt holes and with all the other bolts and the drive shaft removed you can just slide the trans back and access the flywheel. If you use enough threaded rod you could change the verter to. anyway it will be one more day before I can hear it run
