It's been a long semester - 15 hours, plus my job. Work on the car has been sporadic, but progress has been made.
Both mounts are done (if not tightened down yet). I've yet to get the pan-head allen-key bolts (M10-25) and the countersink to put the back plate-to-engine bolts in, but the holes are all in the right place. Pics and measurements to come once everything is complete. | |
Engine is level. | |
Happy to announce that the AC box fits without modifications. It's tight, but it fits. | |
Alternate view. | |
In accordance with this thread, I've got about a 2 1/2 degree nose-down angle on the engine. That really lifts the back of the tranny though. | |
I will have to open up the top of the tunnel here a bit more to clear. Will likely also need to cut off that ear before worrying about creating the new tunnel. | |
I can use my stock transmission crossmember, sorta. It's a few inches too low, but properly centered and the distance fore/aft works. | |
Yeah, it's about 4.25 inches too low. Not yet sure how to work around this. |
