It's out!
View attachment 2015
First off, those axle nuts are a pain in the butt! However it wasn't anything a 4' pipe on a 1/2" drive breaker bar couldn't fix. :thumb: I pulled out the axles, it got a little messy becasue I forgot to drain the transmission fluid :banghead: Sucks because that was my BG syncroshift 2 fluid. Looks like I'll be trying Pennzoil Syncromesh this time around.

It came out without any other issues, smooth as butter.

I pulled my turbo transmission off my non-turbo engine and got it cleaned up pretty good.

My ACT 2100 clutch and Fidanza aluminum flywheel came off next. I cleaned them up and they are ready to go on the turbo engine now.

Cleaned up the engine bay as much as I cared to. It's just waiting on the turbo engine now.

I went by the shop yesterday and they had the balance shafts eliminated, the ACL race bearing and 6 bolt crankshaft installed in the block with the ARP studs. The Wiseco pistons were mounted on the 6 bolt rods but weren't in the block yet. I'm hoping to be able to pick it up in the next few hours. Then I'll clean out the head, put it all together, and drop it in. Waiting is the hard part :cool:
