good input, thanks. hey, I got the flex plate off, removed the mangled plug, cleaned up the flex plate ( some rubber from the plug adhered to it ), got the transmission real close to the block, but not perfectly aligned in space yet. The difficulty is going to be getting the studs from the...

Hey Guys, tomorrow I am probably going to try to remove the flexplate off the rear of the engine. Its a long story, but the transmission access rubber plug is stuck between the flexplate and the thin sheet metal divider that sits between block and the bell housing. I am about ready to roll the...

hey guys, I need to pull out the trans dip stick tube from the transmission and disconnect the trans cooler lines from the transmission in order to back the tranny away from the block. the transmission is on a rolling transmission jack and is level… any idea how much transmission fluid will come...

I was looking into holding the engine crank still so I could torque the crank pulley to 95 lbs. On the bell housing I removed the rubber/circular access port plug to the flexplate - and attempted to hold the flexplate with a ratchet/socket on a flexplate bolt. No luck, so I put the plug back in...

Ok… so, now I am wondering, is the INA non clutched alternator pulley, with the 32 spline tightening hole, that was on my used 03 MM when I bought it, NOT oem? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good question. I dont really know. Of course, after all alignments are done I put the pump and its pulley ( and more coolant) back in place. If I had an electric, no pulley, water pump, the belt routing would have to change a lot, and that would be a very significant change. Sent from my...

Ha! Some would argue their is a lot of space between my ears when it comes to modding my Marauder...but this story isn't about that space. And it's not about Mars or Venus. No, its about the space, or more correctly, the spacing required to convert my Marauder, which contains a V7 Vortech...
