Gearing up for the 2.9/auto to 4.0/manual swap

Post by onewyr »

I will get started on my swap tomorrow. For starters I will be going to my inlaws to weld the towbar brackets onto my bumper so I can move my truck around while it has no motor. Then I will start removing whats left of the porno red interior, that being the dash once that is out I will be trying to build a new dash cause I really don't want to use a stock dash. I am also gonna try and figure out how to scrap all the heater functions accept the defrost and maybe 1 forward facing vent. once the dash is squared away i will be pulling the motor/tranny/tcase and setting it on a trailer once it is out I will keep the good parts I think I can sell and scrap the rest. Pulling the motor should be a sinch cause I am removing the entire front clip and my bumper after all has been removed I will be bolting the new motor/tcase/tranny together and dropping it all in and hopefully the wiring will be easy since I am changing the dash wiring and everything . of course I will be keeping everyone up to date I will probably update every evening after I come in for the day.

If I am missing anything please speak up and if there are any pointers you can offer for the swap by all means say something it will be greatly appreciated
