Thanks Dozer. It's almost time for all the really expensive stuff. I.E. AN fittings, stainless hose, wiring, an oil cooler, radiator, injectors, and a few odds and ends here and there. Still need to rebuild the front axle(king pins) and differential too. Anyhow, engine and transmission are back at home in the frame under the cab. Boy did it take some work stuffing her in there with the cab installed. Realized that I made a small miscalculation with the motor mounts, tey say too high and didn't allow the engine to lay back enough to get the trans mount to bolt in place. So I pulled the adapter pieces off, pulled the engine out, cut some holes in the pads to allow the bolts to sit in and sandwiched the pad between a couple of knockouts from all the holes I had to drill in the frame. Should be stout enough to handle this little 4 banger. Also realized that I won't be able to use the factory intake and exhaust manifolds so I cut out a flange to turn into the intake and exhaust. I be got an idea for that that wound just be different but it'll be cool too. Good thing this engine is a diesel and not carbureted. Anyhow, here's a few pics.
Here she is back in the frame.
Here's the mounts. As you can see, no more "adapters."
And here you can kinda see how close the engine sits to the brake booster and master cylinder. Needless to say, she's a tight fit.
And here is the flange I made for the intake and exhaust. I used the gasket to mark out what needed to be cut and I still have to clean up the ports but it'll work, I think.
And here you can see how much of the ports I need to clean up. I'll take it to work and use a die grinder with a deburring wheel to clean up the ports. I have got to get an air compressor sometime this next year or so.
So yeah, that's it for the time being. I've got some other stuff to take care of tomorrow so I may not have any updates for a few days.
