Doing Longtubes

zinc02GT · January 3rd, 2009, 01:13 AM

So I'm helping a friend do his longtubes on his 2005 GT Automatic.

He got BBK LT's with a matching o/r X.

So far I've got it that we need to remove the starter, steering shaft (index it), loosen the motor mounts, pull it up with a cherry picker, remove the stockers, wrestle the longtubes in, check torque, drop motor, tighten mounts, reverse everything else.

Missing anything?

I'm building his MIL's tomorrow as well.

the wrestling part is gonna be the toughest, in all honesty its not that hard... just time consuming. very.
