Picked up an EG for a future K-Series Swap

[k-series]

Did most of my engine prep work and laid down one of the first layers of flat back in the bay.

I'll have the motor in the bay by the weekend, but that's because I'm moving the following weekend.

Nah, not leaving FL. Just moving to Wellington.

I first sprayed engine degreaser, rinsed it off. Used a scotch brite pad and scrubed everywhere. Then I used a metal brush for my drill and scuffed the surface/removed some paint.

Went to drop the motor in when I noticed something....

Hard to see from this pic, but the passenger mount bracket was missing. Ordered one online and it should be arriving today. I'll be taking the day off Wed to get it in there and get ready for my move to Wellington Thursday.

I'll post pics up once the motor is in there.

Bracket arrived, bolted on as well as the new mount. Should be able to drop it in tomorrow.

Really quick, does anyone know what the bolt size and thread is for the fire wall trans bolt?

Thanks,
Steve
