I haven't tore anything down yet, just got the car towed down here yesterday.

The shortblock arrives today, so I'll start prepping it (filling oil holes and letting the JB Weld set). Friday I'll only work half-day and start tearing down around noon. I hope to have:

* the front struts out and my ball joints already changed, and the hubs hanging lose ready to pull the axles
* fluids drained
* intake system removed
* plugs and wires and any electrical components I can reach removed
* battery pulled
* shortblock prepped
* install new oil pump, new timing chains, new crank sprockets, heads, cams, timed and ready for the front cover

Hopefully, by the time you guys get here, we'll just have to remove the axles and a few bolts and lift her out. I hope.





You'll need some ball joint seperators to get the axles out. Also, why are you doing the ball joints seperatly...that is a HUGE PITA. buy new control arms.
