The ICE came out easy without the tranny attached.
Busy day today. Removed entire exhaust system, dropped tranny and removed flywheel. Found that the Warp 9 motor I have on order may not fit in the car. Measurments show the steering rack is about 4″ away from the center-line of the crank. Sure it’s only 1/2″ off, but that mean the tranny would be riding that much higher then original. Issue? I think so.
I chose a 1993 Nissan 240sx for my conversion vehicle. It has a moderate weight, low drag, looks good and was readily available.
