Yeah, right now Im in the middle of 2 swaps, this one and a Turbo charged Ecotec into a 98 Z. Im also changing the Z from auto to manual. I started that car first, welded in the manual mounts, mocked up the turbo system then took it all out again and sent it off to get the body work and interior done. While that car is gone, I am built the eco with pistons, rods and headstuds. Got that all done and started with this swap, when the Z comes back though, I will put this one aside till the Z is done, thats why I am setting an april date for completion.

someone had done the swap into a 2nd gen, the car was rotted, bought the car as a parts car to part out as well as for the motor to pull and put into my car

well the 3400 has been mounted to tack weld the getrag mounts, next the dogbone bracket gets fab'd up then the motor comes out and the getrag mounts will be welded in final and motor put back in and wired up. heres a few pics

Correction Nick, I started the harness a while ago
Right now, I have it mounted with an old Isuzu I had lying around. This way I can have it exactly where i need it to make the dogbone bracket. Once that is done, I can weld in the new rear mount for the getrag and relocate the hole on the front and know that it is mounted exactly where it needs to be. Me or Nick will keep posting pics as I go along.
