The official spring meet typically has been an end of April event/bbq/modfest at Elky's and not May due to conflicts with national meets, namely Spring Zing and Carlisle.

I'm with Mike my car doesn't come out of the garage until the middle end of april either. Me and Michelle want to host a cookout this year around july/august at our house. I'll post details and interest soon. until then I'm up for anything. I just need to get away from the everyday bull**** and start hanging out and doing car stuff

Just let me know when and where. Id like to actually meet some of you ceg'ers ive been talking to over the last month or so. Cookout sounds cool. Im really trying to get a new garage built over the spring/summer so maybe ill set up a garage warming party for all of you who feel like coming to southern Maine for a visit. Anything in August isnt good for me, due to my 15 day or so trip to Maui. LOL. Just thought id throw that in

Late April, early May sounds good to me.
That will at least give me time to get all my mods done.

this year the meet will be at the end of may, maybe thebeginning of april.
spring zing is in april, so squeezing 2 big events like that in one month will be hard.

Well we don't have any experience yet, but we'll be looking into Cobra kits in the future. I've heard good things about ERA and Superperformance, but not-so-good things about Factory Five.

So Elky, you seem to enjoy hosting this Spring Meet/BBQ.
Are you willing to host again this year?
If so, what dates are good for you?

I know, but I've only gone to ONE CEG meet ever, and it sucks cause everytime some kinda meet comes around, my car is not available.
I'm driving a 02 Mitsubishi Galant right now and I really don't wanna be driving it. I want my car back!!!

i think that it will be the 7th.
i will get it off work if it kills me.
i take one night off a month, if that.
so two in one month might not be so bad.

Hey y'all,
Of course, majority rules, as well as the schedule of the organizers, but I vote for the weekend of the 30th. I'm in St. Louis on May 7th (business-related... trust me, there's not much to do in St. Louis besides riverboat gambling). I missed the shindig in the White Mountains in October and really am looking for a good opportunity to meet y'all.

I was thinking the same thing. Its not going to be quite the same as the nice patch of pavement in the rear to work on the cars.
Also, will we be able to wash our cars? I know you're a home owner now, so water is one of the bills you'll be paying. Let us know.

I am assuming we should start some kind of garage waiting list. This seems to be turning out into a pretty big mod meet. I claim the garage first! I remember somebody wanting their DMD done at the last meet, so they get second.

No, actually it was me. I have my WP and DMD that needs tobe installed. But I'm not tryin to push anyone outta the way or anything. Plus I wanna do my UIM/LIM within the next couple of months as well as a full tune-up. I am not to worried about gettin this done at the meet so you don't have to count on me taking up garage time , but if it's avail. I'm all for it.

it is definitly the 7th.
the lowell connector does suck right now, but oh well.
as for parking...we will have to do what we can.
i just hope it is dry that week.
washing cars can be done, but will have to be done inthe front driveway and might make life difficult, parking-wise

If I bring supplies and tools, would people mind showing a newbie to Auto repair/maintenance how to change oil, coolant, transaxle fluids? I also need a wheel bearing replaced, how hard is that? Front end alignment? (I've had one bearing replaced before- my car has made a loud sound when turning left for a while now).
I am coaching my son's soccer team, so I couldn't be there until around 11:30-noon.
Let me know if that might be a possibility and what to bring. If not, it's not a problem. I thought it might be a good opportunity to meet some people and learn some stuff.

...the bearing might be a little to labor intensive for this type of meet..but who knows..if you've been driving on it for awhile you might want to check out that the hub/spindle isnt/hasnt been "bored"out..even just the slightest could cost you a new bearing,quickly..i found out the hard way just last month

fluid changes are easy you'd need to bring all the proper replacement fluids & filter, as well as the containers to both catch the old fluid and contain them for transporting to the proper disposal facilities. here's the how to for changing the tranny fluid: link and the coolant change how to: link

goonz, the serp belt is pretty easy, just make sure you bring the breaker tool, or maybe elky has one,if not you can rent one at autozone.

the bearing might be a little difficult to do at the meet, maybe it could be attempted on sunday.

Mike and I have a Cinqo de Mayo however the hell you spell it party to go to that night (we remembered this weekend).
We'll be at the meet all day, but will have to cut out later.
If things spill into Sunday, we'll probably also show up in the afternoon.

I couldn't do Sunday. But having some help learning the fluid changes would be cool. I've seen the "How-to"'s but am in the learning process still, and am a little nervous about messing up my daily driver. I could some experience to walk me through my first time on some of these things.
Maybe plugs and wires too? I know, Autolite APP764.
Is that OK? I don't want to overstep my bounds or ask too much.

Maybe plugs and wires too? I know, Autolite APP764.
Is that OK? I don't want to overstep my bounds or ask too much.

We're a real helpful group (when motivated and sober! ), so I'm sure we'll be able to give you a hand, at least start you in the right direction.
Just tell us what fluids you plan on changing, and be sure to bring the appropriate containers for removing the old fluids. I can bring my fluid pump if anyone is interested in changing the MTX fluid.

Please do. If I can make it (I will confirm ASAP) I would like to change my MTX fluid. Redline MTX is the best replacement, right? IIRC I would need 3 quarts, right?
I would also like to do a coolant change. Any fluid brand/ type suggestions here? 1 gallon, right?
Oil and filter as well. 6 quarts, I know that much. lol
Plugs and wires maybe too? APP764 x 6.
Thanks in advance. I do appreciate it. I look forward to meeting some people from CEG.

if you can't find Redline at a local retailer, you can order it through Summit, and they deliver pretty quickly.
I had to do that for my tranny change this past summer.

Are you looking to just change the fluid, or do a full flush? Flushes can become a little more involved, and require more fluid. I think during my last flush, I had over 10 gallons of water flushed through before I was done. Since I changed to Dexcool, I wanted to be sure I got all of the old fluid out (the different coolant types shouldn't be mixed).
You may want to look at buying a flush kit. Prestone makes one, and they aren't that expensive.
In terms of replacement coolant, search around here and decide what makes the most sense for you. Also, I'd recommend stopping at Walmart or something and picking up some distilled water. This is better for your cooling system then tap water.

Well I might make it to the meet after all. Since you guys said it will last a long time, I might drive up after work. The Tour will still be dead, but I could maybe bring the new 5.0 GT Convertible we should be picking up this week.

I was looking to do a coolant flush, but should probably wait. I'd rather make a mess at my own house. I will look into a flush kit, good idea. Maybe someone can point me in the right direction as the "How-to" instructions use some terms I'm not familiar with.
I would need some help with my MTX fluid change. 3 quarts of Redline MTL fluid, right? No additives/ friction modifiers, etc., right?
Maybe someone could walk me through a fuel filter?
And/ or maybe a plug change?

Correct, with Redline you do not need any additional additives. Also, changing the fluid on the MTX is actually easier than changing the oil. Honestly! Once you've done it once, its a breeze!

Yeah, changing the fuel filter is another cake walk. Be sure to have something to catch the gas that will leak out. Then let Elky burn his eyebrows off!

Nope, but we will be doing my headers. If anybody wants to get more adventurous I have the replacement water pump to block hose that you guys said was worn out. I also have an AC leak that could be fixed. I think I created an AC leak when I istalled my OMP front strut tower brace.

i think the rotors are in very good shape.
you'll want to take the paint and dust off the other caliper before installing, tho. get ready to get dirty.

It's easy. Just disconnect the motor mounts and take out the old engine. How hard can it be?

Damn, it was worth a shot.
Our swap is not going to be as easy as just swapping 2 totally built engines.
The 2.5 parts are being built over a 3L shortblock, if I understand it correctly.
So the 2.5 needs to be pulled out, disassembled, build up the 3L with 2.5 parts and then install the complete engine.

It all sounds so simple. Every once in a while I get this urge to attempt a big project like a 3l hybrid. I tell myself, "it's easy Randy, just put your parts on a 3l block and put it in the car." I get excited....I pop the hood....then I get scared again.

yea..mine is getting built up the the 3L short block as well, shawn at arizona dyno chip recommended me getting PNP heads. Those cost around $1200 (that I dont have) and would also pretty much complete the build up process by 80% in a very short time. I'm just goin with the regular 3L short block install. Tony we gotta pick up "3.0L" badges now to slap on the back of the car

So all jokes aside, do you guys really think it is possible to do it? I still haven't figured out who is installing my engine but I need to figure it out ASAP because the engine is expected to be done and shipping out from Buckshot this weekend. This would be ideal for me. A group of CEGers teaming up to do an engine swap. Much rather do that then a garage with very little knowledge of our cars doing it.

I would think if you are mechinacally inclined and have done all the research you could do it. I think haveing the Ford manuals would be nessesary also. The hardest thing I see is actually having the right equipment to build the engines and get them in and out. Do you drop the sub fram or pull it from the top. Both have there own challenges. I have gathered what I thought to be improtant infromation on 3 liter builds I would be happy to send it to who ever wants it. I have it in two word documents both from different threads from some time ago.

I have gathered what I thought to be improtant infromation on 3 liter builds I would be happy to send it to who ever wants it. I have it in two word documents both from different threads from some time ago.
the Ford shop manual is most likely going to tell you to drop the sub frame, of course that is easy with a lift but how has one of those handy?

if i had a lift, this would be very do-able.
yes i know people have done it without a lift, but is has taken them a while.
also i dont have a cherry picker either.
this might be a possibilty, but the next thing needed is time.
i dont even have time to do the front end in my hearse or fix the rot on my truck, nevermind do an ngine swap on my spare time.
but agin...it is possible

So what is the verdict on this meet? Will there be an engine swap going on?
I know that Goonz SVT and I had expressed an interest in doing an MTX fluid change, and Zgendron said he would bring his fluid pump. But that is the only concrete plans I heard of.
Could someone walk me through a plugs and wires change? Or just point me in the right direction? I think I could do the coolant flush on my own (and do it at home since it will be messy) but I would need a few pointers. I've seen the "How-to" but need a few clarifications/ parts pointed out...
Does that sound Ok? I don't want to overstep my bounds.

Mike and I will do our best to give a hand on whatever project people need help with - within reason.
No guarantees are ever made on all projects getting finished at these meets, but we all do our best as a group to all chip in where we can.
The biggy for this meet are Randy's headers - pretty much the prime priority, especially since it's been put off for so long, for various reasons that couldn't be helped.
In between that and actually just chilling/having fun, we'll all do our best to tackle other projects.

Well as of today, I found out my engine swap will begin here that same day. So I will most likely be at home, helping with the swap instead of going to the meet. I want to come but I don't want to leave my friend to swap the engine 100% by himself. If I do decide to come, I'll bring the new 5.0.
