Got the engine & transaxle into the car, bolted up at the back, and ready to fabricate a few minor parts to make the new forward crossmember mate to the body. The forward crossmember was bought from Speedway Motors in Lincoln Nebraska for a grand total of $58 to my door (http://www.speedwaymotors.com/). The crossmember clears the shift linkage just fine.

MecGen, Thank you for the wonderful compliments! Unfortunately I have to disappoint you on the house. It's clean, thanks to my wife, but my garage is most often a mess. I work two jobs. My day job is for the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality and my second job is as the Range Manager on a 60-acre public shooting range outside of Boise, Idaho. I also live in two houses, well sort of. We have a standard 3-bedroom ranch house in town that is mostly lived in by my son. On the range we live in a singlewide mobile home. Kind of odd I suppose but it's quiet (at night) out here and beautiful in the winter time. My other hobby is long range target rifle shooting (Palma/fullbore) at 800, 900, & 1000 yards, which is how I ended up living on and running a shooting range. I had the good fortune to be a firing team member of a USA Goodwill Team to Canada in 1999 and 2000 shooting against the Brits and your fellow Canadians in Chiliwack, BC. Beautiful country!!! I like to make my projects as clean as possible but this conversion will be my daily driver so it isn't quite as nice as the pictures might lead you to believe. I also own a white 76 914 that I plan to do a tub up rebuild on since the body is a lot nicer than my red 75. That one will get a 4.1L Buick V6. Don |
