Nice setup. Looks very clean I'm running a Ron Davis radiator with a passenger side inlet. I went to an auto parts store that was nice enough to let me into the back room to let me browse the hoses on the wall and found the upper and lower hoses I needed for my configuration.

YO ! blackozvett. The clearance that I said I had was not accurate, I guessed. Motor in car now, actual clearance from steering rack is 3/8 and 1 1/2 from upper support, plenty of room to use a torque wrench & socket to turn motor. I use solid motor mounts so im good. If 3/8 scares you you can slot mount holes in frame brackets. Pictures coming soon.

Yo ! blackozvett. Some pictures showing clearance around crank pulley.

blackozvet

you would have to be happy with that, its a bit hard to do basic engine stuff if you cant get the tool in to hand crank the motor.

Thanks moenoyse.

on your solid motor mounts, did you make some or did you find them in the aftermarket? Mine is becoming a drag only car.

moenoyze

YO, c keith74, I got my mounts from a guy on the forum about 3 years ago. They are bullet proof. I dont think he is a vendor, just someone who built a better mouse trap.

thanks for the reply.

Member "Churchkey" built me some solid mounts for my LTx

c_keith74
