Project :: 95 SE rebirth..

[TK95Contour]

Im in the middle of doing a major swap to my 95 SE. I need to : replace engine, replace all underhood harness's and replace the clutch , and slave cylinder. I was wondering if i could drop the whole subframe with everything all together? I wanted to know the easiest way to pull everything without getting to lost. This is my first motor/trans swap and im so ready to back out.

I have most of the wiring/sensors and hoses disconnected. I have the upper intake off, sway bar endlinks are off, y-pipe is off..

Im starting to get really lost as far as what to start on next. Im basicaly doing this alone with basic handtools in a garage. I have the ford service manual and have been trying to do it step by step but im starting to think im in over my head.

Please help!!! :help:

Any additional info anybody could give me on the best way to go on with this please chime in!

My first major motor work was on my '95 too - don't worry, you are not over your head on it. Sounds like how I was when I started. Take breaks and walk away, even if you don't work on it for a couple days in between.

We will try to help where we can. I will chime in again in a bit to give some help.

i saw that done recently, makes what you are doing much easier. Question is .. have you got a way of raising the car high enough to roll the (subframe engine tranny wheels etc) assembly out from under the car ? If not you'll have to disassemble it in managable pieces.

Relax it's only a car !! I've seen jobs on cars listed as 7 on a difficulty scale and 9 on an intimidation scale.... so you're in for a learning curve ... but you'll live !!
