My last engine swap build thread, FANTASTIVA

[Levitan]

Judging by that level, I'm guessing you are at least .02 degrees off level. Pull it, start from scratch, and do not post another pic until you get it right! It's almost embarrassing to see such shodding work. In fact I'm so disappointed in your craftsmanship, pull everything and I'll be down tomorrow with my truck and we'll get that mess loaded up so you don't embarrass yourself again! Damn near can't take you out in public any more Shadran!

Awesome motor mount work!

Someday...someway...I'm going to be a Hill Billy.

There is no higher ambition, no substitution :p

BP swap

Fresh, great progress, keep up the good work, i look forward to a video of it running and driving down the road.

Here is the full custom BP containment system. Short of a nuclear attact its not going anywhere. Finally free of the chain hoist. The motor is in permanently. Tomorrow the front end gets installed.

Pics of the final front motor mount. Of course the hydraulic clutch cylinder was right in the way. Use parts of two of the orginal EGT mounts. Its solid and there is plenty of clearance for the clutch and radiator.

it sounds like you have everything under control and on the right track

Incorrect, the peter principle has been in effect for some time now.

91 to 96 Escort, any model.

Other then that I can't remember the ECU locations for the wires, it sounds like you have everything under control and on the right track

^ yea yr/m/m does matter, but i don't have an answer, safteyguy Karl does..

Either advance or autozone had aspire outter rod ends for like 30$ each.

but it looks like your doing exactly what I did

Its got to be right then !!

Then the only other wire would be the VICS Black/red wire to the 4th position at the ECU plug ?? Then I just use the ISC plug in place of the stock festiva plug ? Sorry for all the questions. I figure dumb question are better than dumb mistakes.

[Damkid]

I can't remember exactly which location on the ECU that the dist wire goes to, but it looks like your doing exactly what I did
