I`ve got to say! when I saw them tri y`s hanging off a Clevo, I thought I`ve got to have that!, can`t wait to find out what`s inside!. The dizzy isn`t stock neither, may have to change sump to front pick-up, but a test hang of the motor in it`s new home will tell !, did I say that I`m excited about this motor!
ras, if you don`t say anything!, I`ll stay quite about you last May!
Did you note the dual alternators, some serious electric`s going on in there!
Do you think the aircon compressor would be serviceable or should I junk it?

Yesterday I bit the bullet and started welding in the Falcon K member, I`ve welded all the easy to get to area`s and will do the rest when I send the chassis to the sand blaster`s

Garbz, they came in a kit!, with very basic instructions and some Emailed pic`s. He said he would rather people ring him for guidance, rather than miss read instructions!

Alan, Quite a different set up than we see here in the states. Looks like a nice way to go, And good work too.
Might I suggest drilling a hole in the top of each coil-over mount. Weld some nuts to the underside so that you can make a Monte-Carlo style brace to install after all is done. That would really tie that front together.

OK!, here are some pic`s of the motor sitting/hanging in there!

you can see by this next shot, how tight things are with steering on R/H side!

I`m sure now I`m going to have to go with a front sump pan!
[img][img]http://i533.photobucket.com/albums/ee337/maccas66/DSCF0006.jpg[/img][/img]
the oil filter is no problem or the pump
[img][img]http://i533.photobucket.com/albums/ee337/maccas66/DSCF0001.jpg[/img][/img]
to get a better idea of the final position I`ll have to bolt the tranny on and put it back in, now to the sad part!, while I was taking the motor back to the other garage, snif snif it rolled off the pallet trolley and ended up side down!, I managed to roll it up right, but damaged a rocker cover, bent a bracket and totaled the dizzy cover and rotor-button , no pic`s of that! but I do have cramps in one leg from kicking myself up the bum for being so stupid!

Tim, It would have to go over the top of the motor, wouldn't it?, I suppose, I could make up a bracket to bolt to the top shock mounts, kind of saddle over the top!
Dave, it looks like I win!, mine already roll`s

Over the last 2 Saturdays I`ve bolted up the motor and tranny, and put them back in and after some hours of UP , DOWN, UP, DOWN, BACK , FOWARD, LEFT , RIGHT! I managed to find the sweet spot for the motor ( I hope! ), little edit here!, I changed to a front sump as well!
[img][img]http://i533.photobucket.com/albums/ee337/maccas66/DSCF00192.jpg[/img][/img]
I fabbed up some engine mounts and tacked them in, and I`ll finish welding them and do some trimming to make them look better when the engine comes out again!. the sway bars lined up real nice too,
[img][img]http://i533.photobucket.com/albums/ee337/maccas66/DSCF00172.jpg[/img][/img]
The trans cross member stayed in the same position, only needing 2 holes to be drilled!
[img][img]http://i533.photobucket.com/albums/ee337/maccas66/DSCF00182.jpg[/img][/img]
After moving all the built up rubble from under the truck, I put her down on her new front feet for the first time,
[img][img]http://i533.photobucket.com/albums/ee337/maccas66/DSCF00252.jpg[/img]
I must say that after seeing the truck at the working level for so long you tend to get used to it that high, so when I was lowering it, I thought to myself , self how low is this thing going to be
[img][img]http://i533.photobucket.com/albums/ee337/maccas66/DSCF00242.jpg[/img][/img]
with the rear end still on original wheels, she sure has a mean rake!

the bottom front edge of the cowl is 950 mm off the ground about 3 feet, so now for the rear end!, I think I`ll go the flip the front spring perch and extend the hangers, should get 4 in, what do you reckon?[/img]
