any progress, i want to see the festy driving soon

no progress yet,

the first time i put the ZE in i messed up the threads for the crossmember bolts so i didn't get the bolts tight, i've since fixed the threads so that problem is fixed. The other day i put the ZE back in, got the bolts tightened up and seen how little clearance there really is to the frame rail, which is less than i originally thought



so i've decided to knotch the frame rail that way if i ever need to change the belt i won't need to pull the engine, so i'm waiting on some steel from work to come in but in the meantime i've started on the engine mount

Nice work!

Interesting idea for half-shaft mounting....

i figured it was better then grinding down the block to get the int. shaft bracket to sit flush with the block and not enough mounting holes behind where the bracket sits compared to the engine :lol:

Looking good!

[Gforcefd]

That is a very original design bracket, nice job.

[MONSOON]

Ahh good to know. Was just lookin out for you.

[Damkid]

Damn that looks good! Is it going to be strong enough though?

1/4" thick steel, i'm sure it'll be strong enough :lol: besides there's not really any torque on the bracket anyway, its more or less there to support the intermediate shaft

[Damkid]

I decided not to re-locate the alternator to keep it simple(r) so i just made up the intermediate shaft bracket tonight




And a quick coat of paint

just mount up that V6 in the back of the aspire and go with it turn it off for inspections and just run the B3
