Wow I've missed out on alot! Just change the thread title...

looks good, have you plugged in your axels to make sure the transmission is where it needs to be left-right?

No, I trust they'll fit since the cross member came from shorestiva's car.

I changed the waterpump, timing belt, tensioners, thermostat and some gaskets
NR took the BP crank pulley and had it turned down at work

I got the flywheel back Friday so we installed it and the clutch

Bolted the motor to the trans and put it back in. It's only bolted to the rear mount, I need to do some measuring to finish the rest.

Wow the engine bay looks crazy clean and nice since I last saw it

[Festevil3]

Nice progress! Keep the pics coming, glad to gear the flywheel worked out for you

[FastOrBust]

I started working on the 4th mount. I used the left over shift linkage and made these spacers so the plate would sit flush.

Cut out a pieces and drilled the holes

Then I cleaned it up a little, I still want to cut it down more and make it look nicer

Damn moving along nicely! If you need help with wiring the fan in lmk!

I am intrested in more detailed pics of how the radiator is mounted, if you do not mind sharing

[FastOrBust]

This is with it sitting on the stock mounting tabs, I was too lazy to see if my hood will clear it like that

I'll most likely cut into the radiator support to get it in there some more. The lower inlet will have to be moved to the side and it looks like it going to be a pain to plumb the upper as well

If you want a specific picture of something let me know, I wasn't too sure what you wanted to see.
I cleaned it up a little last night and welded the spacers on to the plate, I'll save your eyes and not show you the hideous welds. I still need to figure out what I'm going to do about the motor mount, I might have to find a stock egt mount and do the bolt on L bracket mount

My sweet harbor freight hammer decided to break when I was pulling the sway bar from the aspire.

I only have five weeks to get the car together, running and inspected before auto cross start so I better get my rear in gear.

I would have given you a EGT mount I have to many laying around, let me know next time :highly_amused:

[FastOrBust]

Thanks but the egt mount didn't work, the engine is to close to the bracket. I did however get my half shaft bracket done for the most part, i just need to weld the nuts to it, clean it up and paint it.

[FastOrBust]

My dad stopped by today and we got some small stuff done. We finished the half shaft bracket, bolted in the starter, alternator and put the motor back in. Then we made an intake for it which was beyond easy lol just have to make a bracket to hold the vaf in place

I also plan on making a heat shield and maybe cut a vent in the fender
I also might have found a solution to the motor mount

There energy suspension sway bar end links, now I have to find steel tubing with a 1 1/8 I.D.
