Update:

So I installed the rear main seal and the new flywheel. I will try to get the clutch assembled with all those damn snap rings. Then get the transmission installed onto the engine. I also have to press in the solid shifter bushings, remove/solder the injector wire and resistor, then build injector connectors the with the ID connectors. I hope to have the engine ready to be installed by thursday. I will then have to try to install the motor this weekend or when I get a chance. 

Also dropped off the valve covers to Sharp Hydrographix on friday, and I have to drop off the front cover today. Hope to get those back soon. Very close now. Gonna have to talk to Cam to see if he can modify my tune so I can drive for a few hundred miles before getting a real tune.

Also ordered a TRD oil cap, wait till you see the valve covers. The cap will offset it nicely.

Update:

Completed the clutch assembly yesterday night. Installed it this morning. Transmission is installed. Removed the injector resistor pack and soldered the wires to the 12v source. Installed the Injector Dynamics connectors. So everything is done on the motor essentially. I had to go to Toyota to order some bolts for misc. things. But it won't stop me from installing the motor. I have some friends coming over tomorrow to help install the motor into the car. I also sent Cameron the cal files for adjusting the tune for the car. 

I do need one thing from anyone willing to help. I need a press to remove the old shifter bushings from the triangle for the transmission, and then press in the solid bushings. Anyone have a press? Eugene???

Update:

Got the Mark's Engineering solid shifter bushings installed by Racefab. I really need to buy a vice grip.

Friends are on their way now to help install this motor.
