Jims '93 Alltrac Build Thread, start up vid PG7! Options

[presure2]

As promised, jimbo, heres the build thread for the 'trac.
ill let you fill in the story of how you aquired it, ect, im just gonna post pics and info as i go about doing the work for ya.

so, lets get this show on the road!

first, jim came up friday with a '93 alltrac, that had a blown motor with no head on it, attached to the AWD tranny, hanging in the bay by only the drivers side mount.
in the back of his truck was a 3rd gen 3s setup, WRC tranny, and some random parts for the swap.

we got the car in the garage, and once i got the hood off and stared in amazement for a few moments, i started getting ready to litterally drop the motor out the bottom.
the crossmember and stuff was already out, all i had to do was remove the shifter cables, clutch line, and speedo gear.
i took out the 3 bolts holding the tranny bracket to the mount, and out it came with a thud.
joe gave me a hand pulling it out from underneath, we hung out for awhile, and that was that for friday night.
saturday morning, we went out and pulled the motor and stuff off the back of the truck, and got it into the garage.
the motor had parts of a TD06 turbo kit on it, and jim and i walked thru how he wanted it setup, and off they went.
today, i went out and got to work.
sorry for the blurry pics, for some reason my camara dont like to take pics under the floresent lights.

thats good to hear, jim, i know there were a lot of people with wireing problems way back in the hay day when these swaps were very new to us, but im sure doing them over and over that it has become a lot easier to diagnoise if there are problems that arise.

Im sure that if i swaped again, i would do a 3rd gen for may simple reasons, including the wireing which i would be able to do myself.

Ugh - tell me about it. Stephen and I are STILL working out the bugs from early 6GC.net swap wires
It's about there now tho.



Manny and Jim - You two are the beasts of the east man. Great luck to you on this project [as if you'd need it LOL]

Jim - I need parts from your discarded 2nd gen BAD - Please hit me up [Shannon has my digits if you don't still]
