Because we had never done anything this extensive on a car before we basically had to learn how to do everything as we went, which made things probably take longer then they should have.
Getting the engine out was easier then i expected. With the both of us on each end of the engine and gear box we managed to maneuver them both out as a whole.
Once out, we then separated the transmission from the engine and then begun to pick of the bits and pieces we needed to finish off building the new engine. When the new engine was ready we swapped them over so that the old engine was on the engine stand and the new engine was on the tyres on the ground. Then we put on the balanced flywheel to the balanced crank and crank pulley and also my new extreme HD clutch. Putting the transmission back on seemed to be quite difficult but that may have been because it was 1AM.
Once that was done we then lowered the new engine into place. We did have some issues with lining the engine mounts up but we eventually got it all in.
ARRRRRGGGHHH!!!! We quickly eliminated that it was a spark issue or a compression issue which only left fuel. Seeing how the only thing changed in the fuel setup was that when we got the old injectors out of the old engine they had smashed up caps on the ends so we decided to use the injectors that cam with the new engine except for the only good condition old one. So we assumed it was the injectors and took them back out and and tested them with a 9v battery, sure enough the old one was that only one still firing. So next day took them to get rebuilt and flow tested. Put them back in and the engine fired straight up!
