My last engine swap build thread, FANTASTIVA

Ya, I think you just need the special disconnect tools like for A/C & EFI fuel filters and stuff. You can get a pretty fair set for $20 to $30 at most auto parts stores. The safety clip is a good idea to keep.

Here is a pic of the fuel line. There is like a safety wire attached to the clip and a clamp. Ill just cut it if I dont need it. The hose doesnt want to pull off even after I remove the clamp.

If it's what I think it is, you need a set of the special fuel/AC line removal tools. You can buy them at any McParts store....just get the best quality ones. The cheap-o ones are worthless. Or, you can just cut the line with a knife for now.

Im getting back at it today. The escort is kicking my butt. A/C, Power steering, cruise control. To much junk, makes me appreciate the festiva. Yesterday my BPPV ( no pun)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benign_...tional_vertigo was acting up. Crawling around the car and craning my neck and eyes seems to make the condition worst.

Question:
How do you unhook the fuel lines going to the rail. They have a clip on the connections. Ive removed the clips but cant pull the fuel line off. I'll get a pic if no one knows what Im talking about.

Marcus, does the EGT still have the front fog lights? I need those, and I wouldn't mind having the wheels either if you were parting with them/had a way to get them to MN haha.

Redford should like his new drivetrain tho after all this!

It does have fog lights, I might keep them. The wheels have some nice goodyears on them Id sell after I get through moving the car around. Shipping would cost too much.

Did you really have to phrase it like that ? Guess I'll sell all the parts I can and haul the rest to the scrapper. I got a couple of festiva shells to take with it.
Need anything ?

swap the B3 back into the EGT and send it on down the road

What are the plans for the EGT after ripping out it's heart?

Elcamino1 had a set in his car I think, I liked them.

FestEvil has protege seats, I like them too, but they are flatter than the escort ones the backs are fine but the base doesn't cushion as well. Still nice though!

What are the plans for the EGT after ripping out it's heart? B3 it and get 40MPGs?

Looks like a real clean EGT............I can't watch..............

It hurts me too, a big reason why this project must not fail.

Those Escort seats are comfy in a festiva! (to me at least... Mel doesn't like them as much as the worn out seats in the GL lol)

The EGTs last mile. Wished Id bought an EGT when they were new. Nice car !!








Brand new cleaner fluid in the parts cleaner. Hopefully the solvent doesnt cause cancer, birth defects, and esp. impotence. Bought 10 gals at a silent auction for $11.57.
