OK, first off sorry for the quality, but my parents took my digi down the shore for the weekend so I had to use my cellphone. I will be posting pics as the swap progresses over the next few days, and I'll be using the digi. Here are some pics of what I've got.




I've got the drivers seat out and the dash torn apart to get to the clutch/brake pedal assembly which is out of the 89 and waiting to go into the 86. I've still got to get the 86 dash apart to put it in but that shouldn't take longer than the 20-30 minutes it took to get the 89 apart.
Here is the 86 as it is right now.

I'm still debating wether or not I want to take the whole cross member out with the suspension still on it and put the GT front suspension in when I do the engine. The 8.8 from my GT is in the car, but I don't have pics of that.

Oh, almost forgot. For the people who don't know, a tractor trailer pretty much ran a stop sign and instead of taking a head on collision I swerved to avoid him and spun out and ended up face first into a pole with the 89 GT I had, the cops never got the guy but I have witnesses in the accident report that confirmed my story. I got the 86 roller with a bunch of stuff for 700 bucks and I'm swapping my 89 GT drivetrain into it.

More pics. Sorry for the camera phone again, I'm kind of in a rush.

Here's the front of the engine sans most of the accessories.


And here's all the crap I took off.

This is my first time pulling an engine by myself so I was wondering other than the obvious stuff is there anything else I should disconnect before pulling it? I'm trying to do the engine and trans in one shot too.
