Hey, so yes some updates,
Last weekend I started it, and had to stop because I didn't have the right mounting brackets (right mounts wrong/no brackets) so I started up this weekend again thanks to Manny quickly sending me the correct brackets.... however, after spending 12 hours on trying to get the engine in... we had to stop... everyone was tired, and I was mostly extremely frustrated... so if you can help me that would be AMAZING... I'm really at a loss at what to do... I have like NO room on either side of the engine bay... here are pictures to help explain... first off this shows the PITA mount that is causing all the effin problems:  here you can see the the mount is to far to the right side and needs to move more left... but that is impossible... because there is no room left for it to move that way. im actually worried about the belts and pulleys shown here:   this shows you how far off the front is as well:  and I don't want to talk about the rear mount... the only 'good' thing about that, is the bracket is around it... so I have NO CLUE what to do... Id rather not back it out for a third time... but if you have another clever way to do it and make it work Ill effin do it like right now... I'm pissed and irratated at this thing... "Labor of Love" my ass, this is a nightmare! heh... Hope to hear from you guys soon! Kevin This post has been edited by Soulend: Jul 25, 2011 - 6:40 PM |
