My last engine swap build thread, FANTASTIVA

[kellen302]

That is incredible, I'll be using this thread for my upcoming build hopefully. Would you recommend doing the mounts like you did, I won't be using a jackshaft so I think that will eliminate the alternator problems you had. You have OCD, skills and funding, the recipe for an amazing car.

I need a smoke.

Well that's one hell of a different approach to a cable/hydro conversion, I hope it works out well for ya

Fresh, that is some incredible ingenuity and excellent fab skills. Your BP is absolutely gorgeous, is it paint or just sand blasted and cleared?

Thanks a lot ! The motor was degreased, powerwashed and hand scrubbed the best I could, then painted with high temp paint. Every chance I get I'll paint or switch out some old crusty hardware with a newer looking replacement, esp. in those areas you see the most.

Ive got a working model of the Fixed Engaging System Takeoff ( F.E.S.T. for short ). Now to build a sturdy, durable, pretty one.

I trimmed and glued in the timing belt dust cover gasket. Those darn things!

fyi im thinking of doing a bp build. maybe someone could send me the bp swap buide from the n/a swaps sticky to joecampb3ll@gmail.com. I cant read it from the forum.
anyways,
why did you have to use glue? I would imagine, using the stock timing belt cover from the escort would be the way to go?

watching that just makes me laugh for some reason....

I'd give the video 4 out of 5 stars.

It needs a soundtrack. Perhaps Led Zepplin's "whole lot of love":eeeeeek:

:nono:

Sorry, I got a little excited towards the end. I need a smoke.

Refined! What!? Never!

Made a first prototype cable/hydro converter. It would sit above the cable. Worked good in a mock up, but needs refined. Vid below

VSS = Vehicle Speed Sensor

Had to google it.

Well thats good info to know, I just need to find a XR2 cable.

[crazyrog17]

Can we use the VSS on an F3A for cruise control?
