I'm pretty sure that's the only way to do it is by dropping the subframe. I had to drop mine to do my clutch swap. Fak I'm so antsy to get my car back togeather.

One thing I'm very thankful for with this build, my buddy has a hoist. That's where I'll be doing the swap. He only lives like 5 min from me. And currently where my car is stored.

lol ya, I know a guy with a hoist and a shop with enough space to park my car for a month or so while I do the swap! and it's 5 minutes from my place as well

I have been debating on posting a build thread but not too many people who live in the states really care about us "Dogsled" drivers! lol
I'll just give someone the parts list if they ask what all i have! lol

In light of the recent builds going on and the updates I have seen. I, by some for of magic or the drugz in the water have found motivation to rip that motor apart.
Here's a before which was about novemberish:
and this happened over the course of a day and a half, just a few issues with stupid Torx heads as you have probably read!
January:
I think I should have the crank out by monday and the pistons will follow shortly after. I leave for work on tuesday so I'll have to find a good engine shop when I get back.
Jonathan, I didn't forget about your post and will check those guys you mentioned out as soon as I can! Thanks for the help, All of you!
