Just trying to get an idea of where your mounting is going to end up?

Got a trans and stuff.
Looks like I'm gonna loose heat and a/c. Kinda sucks I wanted to keep heat for winter events but oh we'll, bundle up I guess.
Gonna mount the motor and trans this week

how are you gonna mount it? using the factory body mounts or are you gonna put it on the subframe?

With little creativity, you can still have the heat

I've actually been looking into a way to make atleast heat work from a different car still in the process of finding a sutable donor. you could always hack up two blower motor housing and fab the up right to the heater core and ac thing like dan did to his z24 on v6z24

Looks like you will need to drop your sway bar out of the way though. Hopefully you won't have clearance issues with that?

The sway bar actually clears surprisingly. I'll probably have to pull it to get the motor in and out but oh we'll.
Trans is from a 88 camaro but the tailshaft is from a older one so it's a cable driven speedo. I'll look into that one later

Wow man. You're just cruising right along. It's so nice to see progress in a thread like this, instead of hopes and dreams!
