Thats nice, have you thought of making BP and DOHC B6 motor mounts.

Pretty cool....but shouldn't it have a slot for the alternator...so the belt can be adjusted?

My thoughts exactly, the mounts looks wicked!! but a slot for adjustment wouldn't hurt lol

[mattdickmeyer]

as you can see there's room on the alt bracket for a slot . i tightened alt and transfer punched the hole, didnt really care about ajustment at this time, ill be tearing it all down in a couple of months ,ill slot it then . i just wanted to get all together and running again!

make some for the BP swap with g series tranny and they will sell like hot cakes.
I know I would buy a set.

1800 rwh is a good ride,we like to make the trip to Rockford to see the wheelstanders it's usually a good time.

Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

when you gunna sell parts..

I've got all kinds of part VALVES, SPRINGS, RETAINER KIT , B3 HEADERS , INTAKE MANIFOLD, working on pistons, rods and cams right now. Dont know if guys are waitng to see results or what ,was kinda thinking '' if you build it they will come'', but seams im wasting my time thinking ''producing parts'' .alot of the part i'm developing requires minimum runs of 200 - 500 pieces, can be costly if i get little to no intrest in what i have.

Man you do some really clean work... I'm impressed.

You are partially correct about the "waiting for results". Part of the problem is that there have been several people on here before making claims they couldn't back up. Based on all your posts, you appear to be legitimate (the quality of your work & fab skills speaks for it's self). You just have to keep in mind that this is a tough crowd that can be skeptical. There are a couple other issues involved: most of us live on a tight budget, and most of us drive a Festiva because we live on a tight budget. You also have to remember that historically, due to a serious lack of decent aftermarket parts, we had to focus our efforts on engine swaps. A lot of our members don't have the tools, skills or knowledge to build a performance engine, but they can swap in a $350 junkyard BP in a couple weekends and go from 62HP to 127HP.

Please don't get discouraged. It's great to have someone like you, with your experience, knowledge and abilities, show an interest in Festivas. Give us some time to digest everything.
