Got the engine/transmission installed in the car today (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) and it seems to fit real nice except the distributor sits a little too close to the firwall for my liking.
So, for the Buick V6 guys out there how close is your distributor to the firewall and does it cause any problems?  Thanks Paul |

Renegade is pretty proud $$$ for two blocks of aluminum (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Thanks Paul |

I don't think I really have a good one on this computer but I'll check. BTW: Mine is a solid mount. Actually both front and rear mounts in the Alien are solid. The car launches kind of cool that way. |

I found this from an old thread by John2kx, as they say "A picture is worth a thousand words" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

You'll need to mod your front mounts as well, but this will get you the firewall clearance you need.
Keep going man! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) |
