Hey everyone.. The time has finally came.. I've had my car for 6 years now.. And have came a long way.. From making my car stock to looking like a beast.. Now finally i'm swapping a 3rd gen 3s into her and completing the beast.. March 13 was my start date.. Took my hood and front bumper off and drove it down to my dads shop. Here are some pics


Pic after removing hood and bumper.


Starting to pull the motor at the shop.


After 3 hours we finally got the engine pulled from the car..

My very first DR TWEAK pose smile.gif lol

The next day my 3rd gen 3sgte came in with the e153 trany (limited slip)


Couple pics of the engine..

Next thing was taking the awd trany off and getting the engine on a stand.




\
Few pics of engine on the stand.

Next we took the intake manifold and throttle body off to get my wiring harness off

Can see the harness laying on the ground lol.

Then we started to take the timing cover off. Did our marking, and started taking cam gears off, valve cover off, Heat shields, and took my oil pans off. Here are pics of us doing them things.





After we did that.. We put the new oil pump on. And the new Water pump. And re-sealed both the oil pans..
Here are a couple pics of that getting done


This pic is with new idler pulley and tensioner pulley, new water pump oil pump. And replaced cam seals. Put cams on And ready for timing belt.. as of now what we have done..

New cam seals, new oil pump, new water pump, idler pulley, tensioner pulley, new timing belt.. And the timing all put back together. And re sealed both oil pans.. This last sunday. I got my valve cover back, put that on. Here is a pic of how the engine sits right now.
