Welp finally got the motor out...here are some pics.

Really wasn't hard at all.... Now that I've dropped the motor I can't see it taking more than 4 hours if you have the proper tools and plan everything out.



The only thing that caught me off guard was the damn battery cables that got snagged. Out of the bottom is the ONLY way to go. Soooo easy.




As you can see in that picture the tranny is just covered in gunk from the old intake leak. Anyone know a good way of cleaning it? I was planning on soaking the tranny with degreaser and using a pressure washer to hose everything off.



I didn't have access to a trunk so I decided on some ingenuity...


Then I realized it was tooo freaking big and probably not too safe to have hanging out of the truck Soo........


I used a blanket and a boogie board to keep the engine from denting and scratching everything.



I also had to use a smaller jack to get the cherry picker legs to slide underneath the car, after slowly releasing the jack down and one swift kick it landed into the passenger side of the car. Its also obvious that I had to remove te passenger side seat to get it to fit.



The engine was soo heavy that it actually stressed the frame of the car, the paint on pillar between the front door and back door cracked all over the place.

When I got to the shop the guy didn't believe me when I told him I have a long block in the passenger side of the car. He kinda just scratched his head and asked 3 of his employees to tackle the job of removing the engine. 3 employees, 2 chains, and 1 fork lift later the engine came out of the car.



Engine guy said that it'll take roughly 2 weeks to get the long block back however there is a bunch of minor custom stuff thats needed for the engine since its going to be a blown stroker motor.

I still need to iron out the fuel system and the cam.

So far I gathered:

*Racetronix single fuel pump & harness
*83lbs Siemens injectors
*MSD boost-a-pump
*Aeromotive APFR

I believe that setup "might" be enough for a blown 383 pushing 15+ psi... however its seems that I may have to step up to a dual in tank setup. If thats the case I may have the Racetronix kit up for sale.

I'll keep you guys updated.

P.S. I plan on using a truck to pick up the rebuilt engine.

 

Nice pics but I can't see what you used to get the car so high to remove from the bottom? Putting the engine in the front seat of the honda was classic.

 

And to think people laugh at rednecks. That is some funny ****

 

I have now seen it all.

 

The best part is that I'm not even white.... I'm ASIAN!

Here is a better picture. I just put the front tires underneath the rear ones and used stacks of wood underneath the front jack stands.

NIce!

 

No other words.......WOW

 

That's the first time I've seen a Honda with 12 cylinders!

 

Awesome!

I had to fold the seats down in my Nissan Altima to carry my 12bolt home .

the pictures are not showing up for me

 

My wife would kill me if I tried to do that in my garage.

 

lol, whatever works. and yeah out the bottom is the way to do it. i used the cherry picker to raise the front of the car up high enough to roll the engine and k-member out.

 

LOL, I bet that honda never had so much power in it! I almost fell out laughing as I scrolled down the pics. Let me know when you want to help me pull the motor out of my car:P If you ever need truck help, I can help out with that

 

What a dumb ***
