2006 3.7L cherokee engine swap -- STUCK at structural cover
Ok, I am butt-crack deep in to this 3.7L 4wd engine swap and really regretting some of the decisions I have made in this lifetime..
I got allot f the "hard" parts done /out . Notably the 4 exhaust manifold bolts attaching to the Y pipe, the starter, the front drive shaft, many of the bellhousing bolts and all of the bolts on the "structural cover"
Here is where it goes sideways. I have the structural cover loose, but I cant get the damn thing out of the way enough to get access to the torque converter bolts. The front 4wd cross member, the oil pan, and the trans all form a great little "pocket" that captures the damn thing. This reduces my access to the TQ bolts to zero.
What am I missing? PLEASE don't tell me I have to remove the front cross member, as that job loos like I will have to remove the entire front suspension, leading to another ton of undiscovered miserable issues yet to come. What am I missing here?
Thanks!!!
ps: I made this hoist adapter, think it will hold?
