I think you will find that unless you brace the motor or tranny front to rear they will swing forward and rearward under power. the only thing preventing it is the strength of the tubing crossection at the vertical part of the motor mount. Thats probably why Dana built the cradle type mount he made for rh. You maybe could build a mount from the top of the bellhousing to the tubing you put between the towers like the subys (pitch link) use to stop it.

After studying some online pics of some Suby trans mounts, I gave it another try.

I followed the advise of other Conversionites (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) and used 911 sports mounts to attach the Suby trans to after fixing it with hard mounts.

The pics will say it better... Sorry for the blurriness, camera phone pics.

attatched with 1"x1"x.25" angle steel to a .25" plate cut to fit the Suby case

The main reason for the new mounts was to provide clearance for any obstacles that the rear of the car might encounter (ie. speedbumps)

I will see how the forward and rear sway of this system is effected by the acceleration and braking of the car. It was suggested to join the engine and trans mounts to provide more stability. I will watch this when I get it on the road and go from there.

Well, it has been a while but finally some progress!

I have been studying the pics of DBCooper's (Paul) awesome build and tried to copy his version of the cable shifter. I had some cables made from a company in the mid west and used some scrap metal from an old Seagrave fire engine for the shifter linkage!

So, here is the fruit of my MAN SKILLZ! (novice that they may be (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) )

I was able to play with a plasma cutter at the fire mechanic shop for the first time and boy that thing is awesome! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

I still need to mount it in the car and make it pretty but, I am very proud of myself considering I have never done this before! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
Now it is time to go out in the garage and pretend I am driving it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Cheers,
Nate

Great job Nate. I'm finally in the "pre-assembly" stage with my Suby-teener, so it is great to see your progress to inspire me. Keep up the good work!

Thanks Geoff!
Next step is copying your hydraulic clutch solution and getting the car one step closer!

Been too long since I have posted any progress on the Suby project but, there has been a bit of movement! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

-Installed the hydrallic clutch master cylinder and ran the hard line to the back. Followed Strawman's idea about using it with the stock pedal cluster.

-Gathered all the necessary pieces for the five lug swap. I did the front strut option and followed Sir Andy's thread for the rears.

-Cleaned up the front trunk and prepped it for the radiator. Cut the exhaust holes and welded in the all of the openings.

-Painted the Fuchs and I am picking up some tires this week!

-Got the Suby manifold flipped over, moved the alternator, and rewired the engine harness to fit.

-Trimmed out all off the unnecessary wires out of the stock Suby harness using Small Car Performance info and made a harness to mate with the Teener.

Ordered the Gates radiator hose from Renegade Hybrids and reinstalled the front wiring harness.

Still need to install the hose.

-Still need to route the engine fuel lines with the Walbro fuel pump. Already put in Racer Chris' SS lines.

-Need to order small bits for the front fuel system before putting everthing back.

I have a 2002 2.5 NA engine and flipping the manifold 180 was not just a plug and play. I had to trim back the heater hardpipe leading down to the water pump and use a rubber hose to connect it. Also, I had to take apart the engine stock harness and splice in a few extra inches to make everything reach. I am using the stock ECU and harness that I trimmed down using Small Cars' print out for a 2002.

I am also using a phenolic spacer for the intake manifold which also gave me a bit of clearance room for everything to fit.
I will post some pic of everything in place once I am done with all the wiring.

Cheers,
Nate

Hey Nate, what's the status. You must be getting close. Going to make it to WCR?
