CruxGNZ Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 Just finished 'er up a couple hours ago: And since nobody here has seen my engine yet... and remember, it's not the size that matters Kind of a crappy picture, but it was the only decent one I had taken: I'll be doing another update in the appropriate forum maybe tommorow or Tuesday. More pictures to come, like the intercooler installation, radiator installation, downpipe, turbo, ect.. I am so happy! !M! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottie-GNZ Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 Everything fitting as planned so far? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruxGNZ Posted December 28, 2004 Author Share Posted December 28, 2004 Everything fitting as planned so far? Well... sort of. Had issues with the motor mount placement and am having a hell of a time getting your intercooler mounts to fit on my car. There is definitely differences in the core support design between your '71 and my '73. I'm most likely going to have to make up my own mounts. To be honest, the tranny mount was the easiest to put on, time consuming, but easy . To get the down pipe to fit, the fire wall needed a little lovin' from a ball-peen hammer. It's a close fit, but it will work great. I'm going to do another update with links to more pictures this afternoon. Oh, I can't find any pictures of the intercooler mounted in your car, a straight on shot. I have just about every other picture, but can't find that one picture. I could have sworn I had it saved on my computer at one time. !M! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie-GNZ Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 Last thing I expected was clearance problems with the DP once you got it in place. It does require a twisting motion to get it in place. Are you using the DS poly mount I sent you? Is this the pic you are looking for?
