Pulled the 3FE. Beast!

[gon2srf]

My son and I safely removed the beast this past Saturday. Even with the motor mounts removed and the motor lowered, you need an offest 17mm to actually reach the upper bolts. I ended up doing one from above and the rest from below with a couple of long extensions, swivel and impact wrench. The bolt that gave me the the hardest time was the drivers side second from the top, what a biotch. Also the wire connection that runs along the top of the trans was a motherfuther as well. Anyway, I ordered a main seal and oil pan gasket for my donor motor and will clean and install the motor this coming weekend.

What is the name of the motor in an 80?

Seriously Dave, I've got two motors now..one an engine stand and the other on a pallet steadied by the hoist. I bought a bunch of OEM parts from CruiserDan today and I'll be cleaning the motor and engine compartment and replacing front and rear oils seals and the engine pan gasket this week. Hopefully the donor goes in this weekend.

Good times...haha.

The other bonus is that my spare refrigerator is in the garage with the Cruiser and full of Stella, Negra Modelo, Corona and Corona Familiar.

FJ80 = 3FE (91, 92)

FZJ80 = 1FZ-FE (93-97)

Sounds like an LC 80 party to me.
