I got caught in kid duty tonight as Erin needed to work late, so I did not have time to get any K1.

Behold the awesome power of a two-speed transmission. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Today was a good day for the bus (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I forgot the damn camera again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I will be there tomorrow to do some more work and will take some pics then.

The first thing I did was raise the engine into place. I did this by mounting the front of it first and then lifting the engine while checking clearance on the auto tranny filler tube, throttle linkage, and the air cleaner/carb. Well, the linkage and tube cleared, but the carb was too tall to use the kick ass mounts Zach and I built. Sooooo, I had to chop and drop the mounts 2". This went pretty well, actually. I cut and welded everything all by my self and the welds looked good, had good penetration, and the engine ended up sitting where it needed to be.

Oh ya, i was able to lower the carb assembly by removing the nifty spacers I made, moving the shorter one over, and tossing the larger ones. Unfortunately, this made my kick ass carb bracket too tall. I will be dropping all of this out one more time once EVERYTHING is mocked up correctly so that I can do final adjustments and finish.

Engine tin fabrication was pretty straight forward. I got the drivers side done and had to restart the front one as once the engine was in, the tin I started with the engine out was useless. I need to account for the bell housing now. I am making the front tin in two pieces so that it will be easy to install and remove. I hope to have the tin done tomorrow. Then it will be cabling, wiring, and thats it.

Oh ya, to give Zach some credit (because he thrives on that stuff), the 70,000 btu heater allowed me to work comfortably outside in 25* (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I got about another 1-2 hours of work today because of the heater that he found for us.

That heater may be the best thing that went into the garage this winter.

He can't. He's too busy welding right now.
Poor bastard was trying to seam weld 22ga steel with my cheap .035 flux core wire. The fact that he did not burn much through was impressive.

I had to come in. I felt the call to work on my car (or just sit and BS for a while), but I have a shitload of homework to do.

Okey dokey. Here are the pics.

The modified/lowered engine/bumper mounts

New engine height. Still acceptable, but it gives me something to shoot for with a different injection someday.

These pics are small so there will be several posts.

Here is another of the adjusted engine height. it looks lower than it is due to the angle I took the pic at.

Carb clearance. It fits just barely, and I have to lower the engine to change the current filter. I mat get a filter top cover and shorter filter element to fix this.....or I will just switch to FI (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) someday...

The gap to fill between the bay and the engine. I needed to accommodate the bell housing so welding had to occur (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
