Ok its taken a while, what with work interruptions and Kelli being admitted to hospital but I finally have the engine and subframe out, god what a pain of a job. I have to say HUUUUUGGGGEEEE respect to Clive for the How to. I am really not looking forward to putting the new motor in.

Its fairly standard VVC but a bloke in Adelaide S.A is building it, he is the same bloke who builds the trophy cup cars out here so he is having a play for me. I'm looking forward to the result, if not putting it back in.

It'll be fine.

That's the main reason I took all the pics, to remember where everything went. :)

I took a bucket load of shots too, since a quite a few items are different between a F and a TF. I also had Aircon and I emphasise the word had!!!!! But seriously your "how to" was invaluable thanks mate total respect.

So we can look forward to your version of the 'how to' then, Craig?

Maybe, but its mostly a cut and paste of Clive's though, apart from those bloody AC pipes.

Well, I'm sure someone else with an F with A/C will benefit. And you can point out all the differences between F and TF engine removal. Go on, Go on, Go on, Go on, Go on,Go on, Go on, Go on................

Feel free to use whatever bits of mine you want to, or tag it on the end of mine if you want to do that, it's up to you.

Just remember to put it in the right way round, otherwise you will have one forward and 5 reverse gears. :)
