Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!
If you have any problems with the registration process or your account login, please contact us!
Well Liz, now you're part of a family where girls are allowed to work on cars and frankly all the guys find it more attractive when girls work on their cars. We won't take the tools away, we'll hand them over but ask to take pics!
We might just make her do the work now.
Gone but not forgotten: 1986 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z
why are you even taking the oil pan off liz??? Be happy you dont have a 6 speed, getting mine out was harder than removing the heads!!!
well, i had to drop it to get the timing chain off. and umm, in the process, the bolt thats on the oil pump tube thing, well, that fell. and i was able to get my tiny arm in there to pull it out, but then it slipped, so its waaaaaaaaaaay down there. and in the process, i noticed that it would be a good idea to change the gasket and i may or may not end up doing that depending on what it will require. either way, need to get that bolt out. lol yay for rants...
if your doing the heads and trans too I would have just dropped the engine/trans. They come out the bottom in less than 2 hours.
do you have a extendable magnet?
after a long day of work, the trans is finally out!! it was definitely a pita, but another place where my tiny-ness did prove to be useful so, im gonna post pics tomorrow!
if she had an engine hoist I wouldve definitely preferred doing that method, i already learned that lesson on my own haha.
yes, yes you did however, ive come so far without taking out the engine, id really feel like i was pussing out not finishing it without taking the engine out. so, the hard road it may be, but it can be done and it will be! ugh, way to be stubborn liz... ..
yes, trans removal is a *****. I hated that part on my car more than anything else! For what you are doing just dropping it out honestly would have been much easier, lol. I had the entire driveline out of my car in less than 10 hours and that included farting around with the front bumper for 2, getting jets pizza, removing guage stuff, taking off turbo pipes, etc. But i admire your desire for the more challenging route I have taken the hard route many times and have learned my lesson, haha. Can't wait to hear this puppy purr! Puppy's don't purr though do they? oh whatever, you know what i mean

haha, we too, had jets pizza! but, then we had asian food. so yeah, we had a couple of breaks.
alright, gots the pics!!! 1. a ton of stuff removed!!! 2. after a ton of stuff was removed, it turned out that we didnt have sockets in the right length, so kevin tried his hand at customization 3. the middle one is what he did, it worked, quite well. 4. umm yeah, forgot that the fluid was gonna come out the end. look at that mess! 5. underneath, almost all naked. ugh, rust. that means another side project... .. 6. my transmission!!!! 7. also, i painted the valve covers
I WANT NOISE! SPEED! AN ENGINE THAT SHAKES MY INTERNAL ORGANS LIKE THEY GOT PARKINSON'S! I DONT WANT AN ENGINE THAT IS PARTIALLY POWERED BY MY LAPTOP BATTERY!

I think it is because I take it in and out all the time, the rubber has just stretched out, especially at the bottom where it is really thin. It annoys me more then anything.
