1 of 5 projects is done! Next step is to re-paint my car to the new Montego Blue! Here is a pic of what the color looks like.  | | | | | 08-17-2007, 04:25 AM | #20 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Auburn, WA Posts: 1,814 |

8/25/2007 Dam header bolts are on there good and I broke one so looks like I have to start from the top headers.  Headers are off!  Disconnecting the tranny mounts and drive shaft.  Disconnecting the automatic shift linkage!  Pulled the Exhaust out  Getting ready to pull the M44 motor out!

very impressive, this stuff called In-Force (penetrating oil) is your friend on those header bolts
just curious, what are the advantages of the 328 dash? just cause it has the bigger glove box, different light switches, climate control?...
edit: just looked at pictures and it looks like you sprayed stuff on those header bolts, thats gnarly if they still broke | | | | | 08-26-2007, 03:51 PM | #25 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2005 Location: Round Rock, TX Posts: 399 |

If I had a sedan dash it would fit with no problem. | | | | | 09-01-2007, 04:47 PM | #26 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2005 Location: Round Rock, TX Posts: 399 |
