Rielly motor sports coil over install

The instructions are pretty straightforward. Except I don’t read instructions until I do something wrong. My two mistakes ( one was a disaster) 1st was putting the Willwood discs together. I got the pattern off for the wheel lugs on the hub had to heat up to take apart. 2nd huge mistake was I hooked up the pressure side of the power rack to the wrong port and blew out my new shiny power rack. I installed mine with the motor and trans still in the car. I just had to remove my headers.

my plan is to drop all of it out the bottom at one time. I have never done this so I’ll be learning as I go. Going back I’ll be trying to cut the crossmember for the 4 speed auto. I also plan on pulling the top end of both the motors I have (both 318) just to see what I actually have. The one in the car runs good but has a lifter going flat. The other came out of the truck with the trans.
The power rack I got is used but in good shape. (Free.99). It does have a busted hard line but that’s a simple fix. Thanks for the heads up on brakes. I’ll be watching for that.

I sold off a pile of parts and a really nice first gen to make all this happen. If I get this done in a reasonable amount of time I’ll be ordering the complete rear suspension next.
