preliminary fit

 

The motor basically 'drops' in.

 

In theory, you could redrill the stock mounts and just run it like that, but the shifter sits just a tad too far back so I am having spacers made to get it sitting just where I want it for proper shifter placement.

 

There is a ton of space in the front so you can retain the clutch fan (which I am doing for now) or get nice electric fans, and still have clearance and space for a FMIC. (running stock SMIC just for right now)

 

RB20 transmission is not big so its an easy fit in the tunnel.

 

Stock driveshaft length may be correct as well... spline count is right to fit into RB.

 

Should also be able to keep AC/PS no problem with just some fittings.

 

Downpipe just needs to be changed out for clearance of steering, and bottom mount setup is fine with just a different downpipe. Everything else has ample clearance.

 

Thanks to John and the crew at Garage Zero, we should knock this one out pretty fast
