one...



steps i took in doing this little bit of work



1.)unhooked the air intake box, and the air intake tube all the way up to the throttle body



2.)unhooked the battery, and the spark plug wires



3.)took out the fan shroud



4.)took off alternator



5.)unhooked oil cooler lines going into the block and let those drain out



6.)unbolted the exhaust. I did not unbolt it from the block because it is to hard to get to(is there a heat shield on the block from the exhaust ports?)



7.)unhooked the left lower radiator hose(be sure to have an oil pan under there to catch the coolant, or else you will have a mess to clean up)



All that I have left is the ECU, and fuel lines and tranny. Tranny will be the last thing to do. I have no clue where the ECU is exactly. I know where it is, but I don't know what wires they are. I have a picture of it I believe. Will post that.

Order them from aeroquip or earls, you will probably need some extra collets if you do them yourself, it takes a few tries to get them where the don't leak if you are an amature. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

You should unbolt the ac compressor and wire it up if you are going to keep it functional, otherwise you should rip it out too.

fuel lines? yes or no. i tried trailing them under the TB and through the manifold, and looks like they come up to the injectors. are these the fuel lines?
