40 Watt Garage - Coyote Install Tips Needed
According to the manual and my own assessment of things to do, it's time to get that 600lb. lump of expensive aluminum parts in the corner into their proper location.
I'll be getting the car down off the dolly soon, and hitting a minor milestone - ROLLER! - That said, I've got a few questions.
(This is about my 27th rodeo installing an engine/trans assembly, but it's the 1st time in one of these cars. I have the engine lift brackets, crane & leveler)
The oil pan, clutch/bellhousing, and transmission are all mated up.
Engine Accessories:
- Power Steering... Install brackets & pump before or after?
- Sending units... Install before or after?
- Starter... Install before or after?
- Alternator... On or off the engine?
Engine Mounts:
- Recommended shims/spacers?
Exhaust:
- Remove or Install certain/particular header flange studs now?
Things in the way:
- Steering Shaft?
- Brake/Clutch reservoirs?
Physical:
- Raise front or rear of the car? How much?
More than likely I'll be working solo, so I want to be as proactive as possible to make this a smooth procedure!
