J,

May just take you up on that offer:laugh: Beer and PC work?

I was trying to download the pics so you didn't need to open them, but I kept getting to large to download. I wil try and do them again.

45,000 mile in good shape

Flipped to 2.5 position

Glad to see you are making some progress, nice job.

 

[CollinsPC]

I know I have seen photos of the upper mount after modification but I'll be damned if I can find them. Anyone know a thread or search word to find the threads?

x2 on the offer for help. I'm not too far, in fact, delivered for Allison Park Pizza Hut a few years ago when my roomate used to be the manager.

Never done much w/ 3L, but I'm not too bad w/ a wrench, and I'd love to see what all is involved. It'd help when I get to do mine (hopefully later rather than sooner. Plus, I work for Monster sugar Free energy drinks, cheaper than beer. :laugh:

Thanks for the offer Scott. I will probably take you guys up on these offers when I get the funds to put the motor together and get it into the car. We will set up a Saturday install party.:laugh:

 

[biminiLX]

Nice, let me know, probably will make me want to just do a 3L whenever I do headers .

Install party would be cool. I've done an engine install on my wife's Toyota truck, but never seen one done on a Contour. Would be cool to see how it works in real life, vs. trying to imagine while looking at pics.

 

[CollinsPC]

I am going to try and keep a running post of the project. It won't be very fast though as I have to do things as I have extra funds and that isn't very often. I am hooping to put the motor back in before it gets to cold out though:laugh:

 

[CollinsPC]

Modified the Motor Mount

Modified the Motor Mount

Modified the mount, need to coat and mount it

 

[blu_fuz]

I have been waiting to see what motor those yellow valve covers were going on:laugh:.

 

[CollinsPC]

Thanks for changing the pics Joe, I have them on photobucket but still can't get them posted right:shrug:.

Covers are dirty but yeah thats the motor.:laugh:

 

[CollinsPC]

Now I need to figure out the COP wiring and the fuel rail. Slow and steady wins the race I geuss? Man I want this done!:crazy:

 

[blu_fuz]

I would say leave the COP alone for now. Get the motor in with as much OEM equiptment as you can and get it running properly. You can always switch it over.
