quick question on GE to GE (pics added)

[mecevans]

100% im picking up my shell Wednesday. swamping out a seized GE for a running GE.

are there and bolts,gaskets, or any other parts that need to be replaced when doing this? i would rather order parts and have it once i start so i can drop it right in.:1zhelp:

what are the should's?

 

[tbcmorris]

Rear main, front main, aux shaft

 

[T-MA71]

Do the rear main seal and oil pan are ones you "should" do.

i will be unbolting the tranny if that makes a difference.

remove the motor and trans as one.

unless you want to cry.

It would be wise to replace the clutch while everything is out. New water pump and oil pump are never a bad idea.

 

[mecevans]

thanks for the tip.i will be using the rebuilt auto trans from the shell with 1k on it until i do the manual conversion. oil pump is working great. if you didnt already know i am buying 2 turbo engines to rebuild. i would rather not spend to much on the GE. i think the previous owner said it was rebuild about 100k ago.

 

[mecevans]

the oil pan gasket i found is a form in place. will that work ?

 

[Zumtizzle]

it's FIPG use Yamabond 1207B or Suzuki Bond 1207B

Ill answer for him ....no

Folks, I believe everyone has gotten the point across that they don't feel mecevans can afford to own this car. Moreover I believe mecevans understands that many people here don't think he can afford the car. Point made.

Please restrict your answers to the question at hand. If you feel this is a waste of time, then please don't post at all. This is the tech section - keep it tech or GTFO.

Looks like you will need to replace the rack (much easier while the engine is out)

are you talking about the bushing etc? i do not know how much slop it has but i understand that its easier to do with the engine out. can you list the parts i need? i want to order them tonight or asap.

so far i got

front crank seal
rear main seal
FIPG

Why are you saying to replace the rack?

i dont understand this..

i just replaced my engine with out removing the trans with no problem....... i understand that the trans isnt supported...but if you use a block under the car... it will work fine....

however i will say i pulled the head off the motor first... as i was going to rebuild it.. so that made getting the bell housing bolts that much easier...

so i guess it depends on your plans to choose your attack method...
