A looooooog over due update.

I bought a radiator fan combo
A Subaru 3.0, 5mt trans, computer, starter, harness, and mounts(Crazy Rays pickurpart)
clutch slave (luk from rockauto)
honda clutch master (luk rockuto)
clutch kit from ebay
chunk of 1/4 aluminum

Started cleaning up the floor and adding the tunnel for the cooling tubes.



I used an old shelving unit for the sheet metal. My thinking is a 1 1/2 deep tray sits just under the factory consul hump. Since I'm not using the factory shifter, wiring harness or fuel lines I might as well take up space with two 1 1/2 tubes. I don't like to use soft lines if i can help it. The plan is to run hard lines under the car with soft connections front and rear.

the Subie 3.0 is from a 2002 outback that was completely caved in on the driver side. No Idea of the millage but everything in the engine compartment pointed to a running engine that had been well maintained.
The glitch was I went back two days later to pull the harness and computer. The car was already crushed. A couple weeks later another 3.0 showed up at a different crazy rays. I love pick ur parts.


The 5mt trans was pulled from a 2002 Impreza that had a pretty hard front impact. This is more of a gamble. The drive pulleys were mangled and it cracked the alt/ac mount. the trans appears to have escaped the the bulk of the impact.
