Anyone have a suggestion on how to get around the starter motor problem??

the high-torque starter i had (and brad sold (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ) was smaller and had a different shape.

lighter -> smaller -> better

get one!

But the solenoid was in the same place as stock and you couldnt change the clocking.

Most of the places stopped selling that starter.

Oh.. and I would imagine you would have to modify the trunk floor. I know when we rais the engine and trans in a race car.. the stock starter solenoid will hit the trunk floor. Rotate this one up and I would imagine the same thing happening.

I was thinking the same thing Brad......about having to take a chunk out of the trunk floor after seeing all the stuff on top of his engine.

Just looking at the side pic of your engine (without a ruler) I'd guess a 2' x 2' opening will have to be made where my distributor opening is.

Fiid,

This might shine a little more light on the subject.

We can actaully move his engine forward several inches if need be. RH moves them back.. no reason we cant go forward (I had planned to do this with another friend doing a Scuby conversion).

I didn't think about that B. Since my drivetrain is moved back 1-3/4" (with v8), you will be able to move forward ~ 3" from my location.

I try not to think.. but sometimes it gets in my way and I have to do it...LOL

Lots of people love your car John. It really paints a nice picture for those thinking of doing a V8 conversion. It is so rare to see one done NICE.. easy on the eyes and a pleasure to look at all the pics. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)

Sooner or later we will have the gallery software up and running. I have failed to make it run on my W2K machine, but it should work just fine on the Linux box. Hang in there.

I see John's car, and I stop wondering why everyone moved the hell out of my way when I went home for Christmas..

Mo Engine Pics. Lat night I pulled the intake manifold off. Getting this thing going is going to be a bastard. There are an ungodly amount of tubes, sensors, etc.

This is the (air to air) intercooler.

Close up of Kennedy Adaptor plate. At the top you can see the ports that supply water to the heater element in a subaru. I will probably just put a hose from one to the other. This water circuit also goes through the intake manifold and throttle body - presumably to warm the charge in the cold.

This is the oil filler neck and intake runners (1 & 2 cylinders). To the right, there is some interference between some fuel rail stuffage and the turbo. The bracket behind the filler neck has to be modified to clear the neck, and this holds up the water expansion tank.

Closeup of right side stage 2 turbo. The large air-bellows here are the sensor or control (not sure which) that allows exhaust to flow in to this turbo. Next to it is the wastegate controller for this turbo.

I am worried about this lot interfering with the body, since this is right next to the transmission/engine border.

MMMMMMMMM. Intake valves.

The line shown here is the oil supply to the Stage 1 turbo.

You can see my modified bracket at the bottom of the picture.

Another fun thing about this engine. There are brown and black FI and spark ports on the harness - the brown ones go forward, just like the type IV.
