Engine
Did a test fit of the engine and made cardboard template for motor mounts. Since I didn't want to weld the mounts to the chassis decided to bolt them with thee bolts on top and three on bottom. Also I'll be putting plates on the other side of chassis tube. Material is 1/4 steel.
Engine fitted good, just needs to go forward about 1/4 inch. The bottom of the oil pan is flush with the car.
Mounted the adapter plate and transaxle to see how they fit. The shaft angle is not bad but I'm going to play with the engine/transaxle angle to get the shafts as level as possible.
Big engine! Not a lot of room in the bay.
Next is transaxle mounts. It is going to need some serious cleaning...
