Me and a couple buddies decided to tackle my HOWLING rear end!!!!! It was really pissing me off
Last time I tryed it myself and that didn't go over very well! Went from 2:73's to 3:27's then it was finished and it HOWLED BAD like very BAD!
That was last year...!
So today it was time to go from 3:27's to 3:73's and nobody would even look at my rear end never mind changing then for me.
So it needed to be done so we decided to do it our selves! and after $100.00 and a case of beer she was all done!
Then it was time for the test drive.....DUM, DUM, DUUMMMMMM.................!

Took it for a drive and there was this little sound, so little I had to go on a quite road with the windows down and no music, I was so happy I then new it was time for the main event ENGINE SWAP!!!!!!!

 

Warren and I Started the build today...
Pulled the car into the driveway, and jacked the car up and made sure it was secure! (Safety First) LOL!
Anyways other then getting it up in the air, we dropped the exhaust (PAIN in the kahona's) when it was done needed a damn beer! lol
- Then we dropped the Drive Shaft.
- Then then we dropped the transmission again another beer.
- Then the Bell Housing.
Then cleaned up tools and had a beer.
