Got the engine & transaxle into the car, bolted up at the back, and ready to fabricate a few minor parts to make the new forward crossmember mate to the body. The forward crossmember was bought from Speedway Motors in Lincoln Nebraska for a grand total of $58 to my door (http://www.speedwaymotors.com/). The crossmember clears the shift linkage just fine.

I think the trans final ratio (fifth gear) is going to be a bit low for continued freeway speed type driving with the V6. But I don't do much freeway driving so am not too concerend with it. The bulk of my driving is on rural two lane roads or around town. But I haven't actually had it out on the freeway yet to confirm that. |
