Foxy Green Foxbody Build

Pretty easy on the pipe rack , just lift it up and over the side and set it in place . A bunch more difficult in my notch….good thing yours is not an auto. Would hurt ya.😝
 
I always did them as one. When I pulled it last year I did it in two pieces and it was a day long project. I fucking knew better than trying this bullshit.

Harbor freight gets more of my money, I collect more shit I'll use less than ten times, and maybe I'll have a house before I'm 50
 
Waste of time and money. It simply does not fit with a front and rear sump oil pan. 100% has to be installed as one piece.

When I got older and weak like you 😆🤣 I made a cradle for my floor jack, now I have two hoists and a tranny jack also.

On a side note some idiot/genius decided to make the tranny and bell all one piece in my 07 mustang 🤬🤦‍♂️

What? So yer sayin it'll fit as one piece but not separately. Now you have my attention, lol.

As Billy Bob would say "are you fuckin with me kid" 😆🤣
 
I made an attachment for my walker floor jack for transmissions. The bitch is getting the transmission on the jack under the car. Other than that, it works fine and one man job if you can work the jack with your legs.😀

Another bitch is, I should have a lift! Been here 25 years and built the garage for it.
Shit happens unfortunately. I'm past that point now.

89 Fox, I question your questions sometimes🙃 but I appreciate that we have something to read from your posts. No harm!
Keep on keeping on!👍

Don't sell yourself short. You'll use it way more than 10 times before its over. C'mon.
 
Next. I had the convertible motor mounts on this. They don't work with a Dart block because of some thick webbing on the block.

I have solid ones from upr laying around, so I figured I'll use those. Well, as usual.. not without some grinding to fit around a galley plug or some shit

Without wheels I couldn't get my lift high enough with the basically vertical orientation the engine/trans require to drop in.

Took the time to lower the stands and go horizontal as far as I could, add some angle drop some, rinse repeat.

Also had two double cheeseburgers and a redbull so I was less grumpy.

I don't really care about the bypass filter. It'll be primed and I'm not worried about it. There's enough assembly lube for a Diddy party

you were concerned with all the shit in the short block that'll be pumped into your bearings and crank journals, diddy lube won't prevent that
