the motor itself was fine. it was the crank pulley that had other plans..lol snapped off the block/crank at 70mph. and since i was already planning on starting the swap soon i just took this as a sign to get started. lolOriginally Posted by Tree

She may look sad but I'll sent her a get well card... after all this, she'll then be better than ever... Are you making is a 5sp? This cars gonna be sick... You'll need a new exhaust though...
yeah its 5 speed. for now im probably just going to weld a klde flange to the exhaust i have now.
white or black, IA? (look at the frame rails)
when you gunna paint the bay

i still dont know if im painting it or not. if i do it will be black.
do not paint the bay. LEAVE IT WHITE.
it pretty much has to be painted. i dont want welds just sticking out in the bay. it will look like shit once the new mounts are in if i dont paint it.
then repaint it white.
fuck i dont know. black looks good but i dont like having a different colored bay than the car. to me that just says you got your car painted but didnt paint under the hood.
but black would be much easier than white.
Paint the bay black
That way if you ever do paint it anything but white... it'll work
is your car white?
k
paint it white to match it.
k bye
hahahaha lol..
what he said

can you ever make an intelligent post? lmao
<3
I say paint it white, paint the block black. Also, why not just buy the Hasport mount kit? and while your at it, hit up chasebays for a nice tuck.
if u want to get rid of those hoses poking out for the evaporator from behind the glove box, from the a'/c system. You can remove it, but just taking the glove box, out, and taking the straps apart. And get a non-A/c 323 section, and replace it. i believe the bg one is the same.. but i may be wrong.
thanks, didnt know those came out. ill look into that.
custom mounts..hoping to get them mocked up tonight. maybe even weld them in. i have a 50 trim but i dont see it being boosted. its going to be hard enough to get it just to run well. lol
BAD ASSSSSSSSSSSS.
Looking good man.
Let me know if you need an extra set of hands over there.
stock mounts?
and any plans for turbo?
wealth is of the mind and not the pockett

all you gotta do is drive, lol.
bit come skoop me, you live to far.. lol

look lovely in there louis.
tomorrow i hope to at least get the front mount drilled and bolted. the hard one will be the passenger side.
doesnt look hard at all. to get some plate metal from lowes or homedepot and make it from scatch. i wouldnt waste my time welding in that super thin stock junk.
the white piece is an oem 626 bracket. it will hold that kl no problem. gonna bolt and weld for added strength. mikes probably going to make something to fill up the gap between the wheel well and the bracket.
still undecided if im going to run the trans mount or not. i dont really need it.
did you ever get the timmin done right?
ATL DAsquad Member #9
the passenger side, is the 626 mount itself, or the 626 bracket also? And are u using the BF crossmember down bottom.
and is the passenger side mount on the trany bolted down? did any of them line up?
what mount are u using for the rear bottom tranny mount?
the pictures should explain most of it..lol
stock b6 crossmember, rear mount bolts up perfect. the front needs a little adjusted but will work. the passenger side motor mount is the hard part.
sterling the timing is done.
i was saying is that the 626 bracket or is it just the 626 mount? i cant tell. i asked because the mx3 passenger bracket bolts up differently to the chassis..
the passenger side mount is a 626 mount and mount bracket. do you think the mx3 one would get rid of that gap?
yea man thats what ive been tryin to tell u..lol the mx3's bay and the bg/bf engine bay are identical. And the mount bracket on the passenger side of the mx3 gs mounts just like the 4cyl does, just the bolts that connect to the motor are different. The 626 is a whole different setup.
what are u using ont he passenger side as a mount and bracket?
try the 323 bracket on the driver side, and a mx3 v6 passenger side. If the driver side acts funny, try a bg driver side.
You might come out easier using a mx3 crossmember, that way you will be able to bolt in the motor to it, and mount the crossmember to the chassis anyway. Or just redrill holes in the bf crossmember for the mounts.
that 626 backet looks scary if mikes welding it in....its thin. get some cardbox box and some plate of metal go to work with it. do it right the first time.
he is doing it right im there :p
