Cool...Let me know if you have any more questions. I am also building a VK45 setup...Have the parts now. It will be a cruiser.
PS Nice choice on paint...My first choice was the Viper Blue w/ White stripes but the painter ran off with the parts and paint. I will be going mild Porsche metallic silver.
It's been awhile...I am putting a 2010 Hyundai Genesis 4.6L Tau engine 378 hp @ 6500RPM Yahoo....and a ZF 6 speed automatic in my Mitsubishi Van. And rebuilding my Suzuki Swift GT.
Cool...Yeah I will be delivering the Z to the welder for mounts, exhaust, roll bar (install), and reinforcement. Next month caliper mounts, driveshaft, rack n pinion and finish exhaust...Hopefully
Sure...I'm not as complete as I'd like. But after this next month I will have the welding done hopefully and more answers. I need the rack n pinion setup installed to see if the tires rub anything. I also will probably go with a road racing oil pan (big bucks $350) for more clearance. I am also working on the LSD, CV's and fuel cell. Etc.
Not...The A/C is controlled from left to right. I have two systems one from a 98' Lincoln MK8 (not dual zone) then I noticed that the Ford Expedition had front vents that where more like the Z's (Dual Zone...Left to Right).
Cool...Yes I don't know for sure which path I'll take until I have everything in hand and try doing it. So I too might go the two shafts and joints also. I have to have a lot of welding done before I can remove the motor and trans. I am putting in a dual zone A/C and heater, and ABS???
I am running a 3650 also and I started out modifing the trans crossmember but made a mistake and desided to go with JagsThatRun's crossmenber Part# DAT-106 and here is the link: http://www.jagsthatrun.com/Pages/Parts_DAT200.html. I will pull out the research on the crossmember...The mistake was that I flipped the mounting area when I had it welded.
I didn't roll the engine but am for now planning on using a steering piece that came from a Toyota V-6 4X4, Toyota Van, and Mitsubishi (i think is the same) Which will allow you to run the streering rod straight to in front of the motor and back at the steering rack...Also working out the rotation of the rack which might be a problem since the rack has odd shaped mounts.
I didn't rotate the motor by using Ford Expedition motor mount recievers and mounts...THey come on the 4.6L and the 5.4L. Still a work in progress.
I'll read your request again after I eat something and see if I missed something.
