Today was a bad day for the swap.
- I ruined my PS pump. I stripped the threads where the big banjo bolt adapter goes into the back of the pump. I actually damaged it disconnecting the line (before removing the old engine), but I couldn't find any bad threads while it was out of the car.
Now, with the engine in the car, changing it will be 10x more hassle. - I figured out (for certain) my cold side intercooler piping will not work. I knew that it would need to be modified at least, but I was hoping to avoid a whole new piece.
- My clutch cable doesn't line up anymore. I know how to fix that.
- My throttle cable and cruise cable are about an inch off. I've got a good pretty idea for these as well.
The last two are pretty minor, but the PS pump and IC piping suck pretty bad.
On a positive note, I've got all of the electrical connections hooked back up (with the exception of things that aren't back in the car yet like O2 sensor and MAF). That went very smooth. Labeling all of the plugs really helped.
