Tim240z Posted May 3, 2014 Author Share Posted May 3, 2014 I thought we banned this Opel loving member? .....kinda like a bad case of the the VD.....just keep coming back.... Ha ha ha...Opel.....that was about 4 or 5 cars ago.... Right now I have a 72 Suburban with a 461 BBC and 700R4 and also....wait for it....... a 1973 Mercury (Ford) Capri with a 2.0L DOHC fuel injected Kia Sportage engine and 5 speed (actually a rebadged Mazda FE3 engine). I was running the Kia ECU but recently changed to aftermarket so that I could eventually put a turbo on it..... Here are some pictures. After the body and paint still with original drivetrain: Original 2.0 Four: Pulling the engine: First test fit of the FE: Hooked everything up and fired it on the stand: Modified the oil pan to allow lowering the front of the engine a couple more inches: Absolutely no way to mount the clutch slave in the engine bay (between the brake booster and inner fender). Now in the wheel well (with a protection cover): Modified intake (hood clearance): And final installation: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nullbound Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Nice to see that she is still in good hands and is being loved .......but what is wrong with the wheels? They're still on the car right now. I just have another set I want to use instead, whenever I get around to working on her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Welcome back! My nursing home recently upgraded its internet connectivity, so I know exactly what it feels to return after protracted hiatus. Right now I have a 72 Suburban with a 461 BBC and 700R4 and also....wait for it....... Don't the 461 and 700R4 need to be extracted from the Suburban and put into a Z?
