Step two is complete, I've pulled the engine/trans and now have them sitting on blocks on top of my super precision weight scales.





OK, so they're just cheap bathroom scales but they're close enough. Total weight for the engine/trans is #490 the only things missing are the AC compressor, and the York compressor that it'll eventually get, and a T-case. This isn't nearly as heavy as I had figured it would be. I'll weigh the 2.6L setup when I pull it for comparison purposes just out of a sense of curriosity.

I'm definately going to need to do something to tuck the exhaust in as it's about 2" too wide to fit between the frame rails. OOPS! And I have to be "CA smog legal" to boot, so this should be fun.
