Who would have thought a simple motor swap could be so involved?Custom mounts,p.s bracket,relocate rad to fit in electric fan,customise firewall even though suposedly you don't need to,curse and swear cause with the motor lower there is interferance with the input shaft when installing the tranny,the custom bushing for the distributer that i'm still waiting for and then there's the transfer case,drill out and tap all the bolts for the mounts weld up and reinforce the long and short arms,dig through all spare flanges to make up the right driveshaft combo,s, fuel pump issuses,custom throttle cable bracket,air box/mass air sensor mounting issuses,and then there's the wiring thingy

All i need now is the upper rad hose,belts,dist bushing and gas!!! Thank God its,almost finished. Not realy that bad just takes time, lots of time
