dang, looks like more spot welds to cut out for the transmission.

DustinS · 04-21-2017, 11:29 AM

That was one of the worst parts of the swap.

cutting them would suck. If you can clearly visualize them a spotweld cutter would be the way to go for $40.

I used a spot weld cutter, still not fun, mostly because there isn't a lot of room in there.

Edit: Picture of the Stock pedal vs LS Pedal

Quite different. Going to have to come up with something fancy.

That plug wire is going to melt, even if you wrap that header.

WGP kit has a PNP bracket for the throttle pedal FYI. Also, there's no beating of the trans tunnel... it's easier to trim the exterior of the T56 case...

WGP mount kit clears the sway bar

We don't advocate the sikky or CX pans because if you bottom out your car with an aluminum pan, it's going to crack and possibly bye bye motor. We switched to a steel pan for this reason.

Any idea on when you start yours? Engine is still a couple weeks out if it was anything like mine.

Edit: Realized I never posted the pictures for the Clutch master cylinder (At least I couldn't find them)

Difference in length and thread pitch

FYI WGP kit has a PNP adapter for clutch master mounting and comes with oem compatible clevis at the correct length

If only WGP had better reviews and customer service than this...

A 90° drill works great with a spot weld cutter. I found it to be easy. I used a Milwaukee 90° drill the small one that uses m12 battery and a spot weld cutter from harbor freight. The cutters break easily I bought 3. They were $6 each I think.

But to my knowledge, the kit wont allow the factory heater hose hookups. Last time I asked you about that, you said that you had a kit for it and I asked for pictures with no response.
