I've been away from the shop for the best part of two weeks due to a quick trip out of state and then hosting some longtime friends, followed by being busy as heck as soon as I went back to work. I've also been working on the F250.
To recap, the picture below is what the engine bay looked like right before I left. I need to re-install the rest of the drivetrain, all the parts that mount to the engine block, the radiator, and reconnect all the wiring.
I wanted to get the flywheel resurfaced before I rebuild the rest of the drivetrain, so I took it over to Mostly Mustangs and had them take care of it. This is after resurfacing but before final cleaning:
After painstaking cleaning and installation:
Gave the clutch a good cleaning too:
This is after installing the clutch and bolting up the bell housing and clutch fork:
I still do not have a transmission jack, so a strapped the T5 to a piece of 2" x 10."
Lifting the transmission into place with two floor jacks:
Getting closer....
Transmission installed and bolted up to the bell housing!
Installing the transmission crossmember was quite difficult - I had to force it into place with a mixture of both floor jacks and a crowbar.
Re-connected the backup lights and the speedometer cable:
Next to go back will be the driveshaft and the headers, and then I need to reconnect the exhaust pipes. Stay tuned....
