jay,

FWIW, doing the mod on the crossover tube is a real PITA. Do yourself a favor, either buy a donor COT, or if your car is going to be down for a while for the Eaton swap, pull your COT and send to ImpalaSlayer to get the mod done. He's got a source that will do the mod for a reasonable price, with excellent worksmanship, and more important, NO leaks under pressure.

I thought you were buying up the world's supply of used 4.6L DOHC COTs to mod for future Eaton swaps; is this no longer the case?

Whats the charge on the COT mod? When I do mine it'll be a hail mary weekend project since the car is my daily and my bread winner so to speak.

IIRC, it's around $100.

Fairly thin wall tubing, the PITA is leaking undre pressure.

IMO, you're better off finding a donor unit.

You're gonna do a complete Eaton swap in a weekend? I take it you're planning on having all your fabbed parts made and fitted ahead of time.

Thought you were talking about CBT when he goes out to get free drinks on ladies night... :lol:

[Vortech347]

Weekend is nothing for me. I did our 03' Engine/Trans/IRS swap into our 01' in 4 days. Car drove in and drove out. I have extra all that you've mentioned in the garage. I frequently do projects for others as well. I've been wrenching for about 12 years now.

I just need to make sure I have any of the "standard" modified parts already done and ready to go. Prep is key!

If you can pull off an eaton conversion swap in a weekend my hat comes off to you. You should get it on vidio.

[Vortech347]

It'll be cake provided I prep well with parts needed.

[FordNut]

Better have a rental or loaner just in case...
