Everyone please forgive me for how dirty my car is, I am ashamed of myself to let it get in such a state!

 

Hehe, the perspective makes it look about the size of the cabin! Even taking perspective into account, that's one hoofing motor!

The width of the bottom end/sump looks laughable in comparison with the rest of the lump!!

Unwanted parts now removed, manifolds ready to go to the exhaust shop tomorrow so they can start making the stainless flanges ready for the block hugging pipes to be welded in later this month.

Learnt quite a bit more whilst going round it

Don't laugh at the tool set, it's my step dads .. Mine is at work.

Getting excited now! Should hopefully be test fitted by the 18th!!

 

Looks pretty damned sparkly to me....

Just a little nerdy info

 

Welded in a couple of parts of the engine mounts!




Test fitting tomorrow! Big hammers at the ready!!

 

nice welding.

hope you plan on rubber bushing your mounts?
I would have thogh the vibration and torque reaction from the engine would rip the mounts in no time, unless you have put a fairly sizable plate behide those mounts

 

There are some rubber bits that I'm still yet to make up which will get sandwiched between the aluminium plate and steel bracket which will take "some" of the vibration out haha
