Forgot to take a before pic lol

Took off the whole front end:
Headlights, bumper, fenders, and hood.
Disconnected everything

Took the motor out and a random Asian was around



We started on saturday at about 3:30 pm and worked till 9:30 pm or so.
Then stared again on sunday at 9:30 and worked till about 1:30.

Went ahead and power washed the bay while the motor was out

Doing up the headers

[Dudermagee]

Motor goin in


this was actually the 2nd time it was in, the first time we didn't have enough transmission tunnel clearance.......

[Dudermagee]

Then I found out that the transmission in the GTO is a bit different than the standard F body.
It has a different offset lever.....The GTO one is one the right, F body on the left.

Had to hold off on the swap till it came in.

Koyo rad and FAL fans:


Actually upgraded to the LS2 water pump for more clearance, forgot to take a pic though.
Fuel Filter installed:


Heater core and wiring completed:
