had to pull truckstiva out of the building and turn it around to install the engine so I took a few pics,








installing the engine

[daniel_cogar]

its easy there not hard to install at all, just have to drill a few holes and buy some nuts.

Hey I bought a set of those Ranger Headlights. How hard were they to Mod/install? I hope to get time to do it soon my lights aren't the best the bezel chrome is peeling bad, but not an emergency. Also if I do get the time I could throw together a build thread later.

I hope to have the engine mounted and sitting on its own Thursday, I have class and a final Thursday also. ... I need more time to do what I want lol

Watch that aspire sway bar as well ! It pushes the wheels back almost 1/4 of an inch ! Hold the aspire bracket up against the festiva bracket , the dif is clear !
I know that picture making it look strange and way high , that's in the pic. I remember on mine I had to remount it when it was on top the bottom crossmember due to the hood not closing !

come on people I built a truckstiva, mounting this radiator is cake.
