Hi all,
looking for some information and help, just finished welding my engine cradle for the EZ36 swap, next step is the actual mount of the engine. the engine is mated to a TY856, a 6 speed transmission (STI) which seems way bigger than the 5 speed that people usually use. would appreciate any pictures and information on an installed TY856 - how much was the engine needed to be moved forward to allow the fitment (length wise) of the transmission? was the rear trunk floor needs to be cut in order to clear the clutch lever, starter and Bellhouse? if the engine is too low, will it have oil pan ground clearance issues ? i am too deeply invested in the project, already modified the transmission (converted to 2WD and cut the tail) and dont want to back off now... if i need to cut the trunk's metal sheet, will probably do it, just need to know how much. also, any reinforcement needed incase of cutting the trunk? i guess i will need to weld some reinforcement between the rear shock towers and the transmission mount... any information is much appreciated. Thanks, Raviv. |
