[SuperRunner]

Here are my progress pics soo far.

Engine fits in great with slightly modded exhaust manifolds


Looks good from here.

Great...thannks.

radiator clearance ( I need to remove that hydro fan pump pully)




Modified RV trans mount



Mounted transmission

 

[SuperRunner]

oil pan clearance. If I remove the studs and just use regular bolts, I should be ok...I hope!



Engine mount

Drivers side firewall clearance

 

[SuperRunner]

Passenger side firewall clearance.

If it was for the A/C, the engine could go back another 2 inches.




And here is just a picture of the engine going in. Doesn't look like it will fit...but I tell you, it does.

Had to shave the oil pan to clear the steering. Also need to lengthen the pickup tube in order to clear the shaved part.



Here is what it looks like on the engine




A side shot

 

[SuperRunner]

Put motor in for the last time today. I had to keep testing fitting the exhaust and finally just welde on a 2 bolt flange were the 3 bolt flange was.

I also used an old tensioner with an aluminum mount and cut if off and welded it to the hydro fan pump in order to re-gain some clearance.

And the oil filter bracket fits just fine. Doesn't even come close to hitting the frame.

Here is a picture comparing the radiator clearance before and after the hydro pump removal and modification.

And then from underneath at a look at the exhaust flange.

The exhaust needs to come down between the frame rail and the torsion bar. Very tight fit.

havn't had time to work on it much lately, but I have almost got the radiator done, and let me tell you clearance is tight.

here is a little video clip of the engine running with just the downpipes.

I also have the exhaust system done. That is about it so far.
