When me and RJ were dropping this motor all we kept saying was how the Heck did Chris put a v6 in here hahahahha

If tilting the engine backwards doesn't work, you may need to cut a bit of sheet metal out of the way just so it'll clear

[M3NTAL]

If it would just sit like this it would just barely clear but it literally sits on the rail.


And yes I'm gonna need some touch up paint It's just collateral damage



So here's what I'm thinking...

On the front tranny mount im going to drill ou the existing 2 bolts that connect to the crossmember, weld a shim to the underside of the mount, which will in turn lift the front of the tranny and motor, and finally throw some new longer bolts through the modified mount.

No I'm having trouble with the horizontal angle of the motor

The ac compressor is resting on the sway bar bracket, it needs to be "leaned" back more

Probably gonna modify or remake the front tranny mount so that the tranny "lifts" up more

[Damkid]

So..... does it run yet lol

The tranny sure cleaned up nice!! Are you planning to drop it in with all the accessories on it? That'd be a tight squeeze going in :lol:
