B16a SIR II into a 95 Coupe

[lnxmad]

sure, that would be great. Motor is coming in wednsday. Quick question. Who did u get it from and how did u unload it. Im not paying for a lift gate. Im just going to get some planks and slide it down. How did u manage?

I bought the entire swap package from hmotors online. It came to me by Wilson trucking company and I paid for the liftgate...It was like 50 bucks extra and saved me a ton of back-breaking work. The engine will more than likely come palletized and probably will not "slide" to easily. I also had a cherrypicker with wheels to help move the engine and crate once it was dropped in front of my garage.

lol I got mine off of jdmsource. My friend said he got fourwheeler ramps and slid it down. Its over $100 to get a lift gate...not worth it. Im trying to think of the best way(besides liftgate)

 

[TheManRSW]

I don't know of an "easy" way to get one off of a truck. I figured a liftgate fee was more than worth the comfort of knowing my engine won't accidentally be rolled or dropped. I stand by the cliche...pay a little now or possibly a lot later.

Yellow Transportation warranties the package from when it enters the truck untill its at the customers driveway off the truck. If it drops then they send me a new one. =p I was thinkin of having my friend back his f150 up to the truck and just "slide" it into the bed of his truck.

 

[TheManRSW]

Could work...do you have a cherry picker? If so, you could unpackage the engine and pick it out of the bed of his truck. That wouldn't be too bad. I have loaded engines into truck beds with a engine hoist, so I know that should work.

 

[lnxmad]

about four of my friends lifted a gsr into a bed of a truck. so thats not a problem. Im just worried about them showing up and not being able to unload =\

 

[TheManRSW]

The engine is heavier than what you may expect. You will need at least two or three people to slide it off the truck and into the bed.

 

[TheManRSW]

Well it should work then...better to have too many people than not enough.

 

[lnxmad]

yea. thanks for your support man. Im out. its past my bed time, clutch and flywheel coming today

 

[TheManRSW]

Awesome...good luck and I will try to find those pics tomorrow.

 

[TheManRSW]

Here are the pics...some a little blurry. I don't know if you can see it that well but I cut a piece of 1/8 steel and mounted it where the old throttle cable bracket should go. I then drilled two more holes and mounted the cable bracket in the new location.

 

[eg6sir]

wasnt he asking about the shifter/shift linkage, not throttle cable

 

[TheManRSW]

He asked about the throttle cable on the first page. I told him I would post pics and he said that would be great.

Edit: Orrrr maybe not. I think I talked to him on another thread about this (throttle cable bracket). If not I just wasted time posting the pics. I don't know what bolt he is talking about on the shifter, though. The shifter comes off the linkage and is simply a bolt through the bottom to hold it onto the new shift linkage that came with the b16.

Edit: Yes, I got lost between threads. Sorry. You shouldn't need a bracket to make the shifter work. My mistake...should bolt up just like the old one.

 

[lnxmad]

lol thanks for the pics. Motor looks good and thet bracket looks very easy to make. Thanks for all your help/support. Im still woried about unloading it =\
