Chris's Lifted BP swap

[william]

Use the stock passenger mount with spacers.

[MONSOON]

Have you not read any of the swap guides???

You have to cut/grind a chunk off the oil pan where the axle hits...

No haven't read verry many but I guess ill have to look now haha but ill get to reading now....

Use the stock passenger mount with spacers.

I read that someware but there is. No room and on the motor it has 2 bolts not 3 like the b3 motor
Soo I'm just making a flat bracket welded on to the stock motor mount with braces so hopefully tomorow I have the frount cradle mounte and the passenger mount welded and start to connect all the cv and shift linkage but the build has been going reallly smooth sooo far

Man I've seen some dirty engine bays in my day but yours takes the cake. Sad part is it looks like it's all just dirt and would be easy to clean....not oil that needs alot of elbow grease. I can't stand working in dirty engine bays, don't know how your doing it.

[Micro Mudder]

Me and my festy live in the mud so I'm used to it haha but It actually way cleener then when I first started the swap cuz I had mud packed all around the whole engine bay but you Should see what I have to work with! A small box of renches and a lot of plyers are my only tools at my parents house! but why are you sad its only mud not greese??

[bhazard]

Holy god thats dirty.

Mud = rust

Grease = rustproofing

lol

[Micro Mudder]

True well only rust are the rocker panels drivers fender front cradle mount and drivers rear fender haha but I'm cutting the fenders to make my tires fit better and so I can get fender flairs of an s10, or jeep something like that but I guessill have to cleen tomorrow so its white and shinny again

Okay I've looked every ware and my motor seems different! clarance between the fire wall (allmost touching!) Passenger engine mount 2 bolts( and shimming the stock mount with washers won't work) so the numbers on the block by the distributor is BP05-4-1k so there a thread for this engine? Cuz I'm stuck and can't fine this motor I've found threads with other escort gt motors but none have what I need with pictures.

[zoom zoom]

That's about right with a stock tranny. Some guys clearance the firewall, i'd just beat it with a hammer. Maybe it would help to lower the crossmember an inch in the front? No mount needed back there tho.

That is a BP engine, there are tons of threads about them.

[Micro Mudder]

I know there is a lot of threads about them but I can't find any with doing the motor mounts but ill keep looking

[Micro Mudder]

Today I cleaned the engine bay! And I got most of the electrical done but I'm stuck trying to get the wires in to the ecm sooo do I have to take the dash off? Cuz it looked like I had to in mattswabs pdf file or is there away aroud it?

[Micro Mudder]

Today I cleaned the engine bay cut mettal to reatach the cradle and most of the wiring done but I'm stuck with trying to hook up the fue wires to the ecm! Soo do I have to take the dash of cuz it looks like I do in mattswab pdf?

[shadetree]

No need to pull the dash i didnt on any of the five bp swaps i have done . Just unplug the ECM and pull the plugs down so you can get to them and install the terminals ! If you have a donor car pull the pins from the old plug and reuse them in the swap car !
