Take out all the sound deadening and tar stuff too! :thumb:

hi guys,

Put the engine in tonight, looking for a pointer though...i can't get the back mount to line up. Anyone got any tips?

On the other hand, it's looking good in it's new home :d

What engine you got? Standard or bigger?

It's the bigger engine I've put in. Got the spacers for the bolts but can't get the bolts to line up on the chassis

are you using solid mounts ?
If so you may need to make the hole in the gearbox mount longer.I think Adam has pic's of what i mean.

It's just the normal mounts I'm using. I thought about making the hole a bit bigger, it's only about 10mm away from fitting

this is one crazy project and has had some realy good fabrication work done i would ov gave up with that one but good on you for keeping it alive

Another update, only 2 not great pics i'm afraid

Well the engine is in place and i've made a start on wiring/plumbing everything in.

Got a couple of questions for folks, the black ignition live at the end of the fuel rail, what is the best way to join this in? I have a green wire coming from a connector on a wire at the coil, should this be attached to anything? Last but not least, where do people get the T-piece from for the coolant pipes at the header tank? I have had a good look about and can't find anything suitable :(

Anyway....I've refitted the fuel tank, fuel lines and pump. Also ran in the rest of the new car loom and it's all slotting into place nicely :)

here is the only pics i have of it recently, they were taken when i had just sat the engine in the bay on the front mounts

Had a poke about, is it possible that the wire coming from the coil could be my ignition live? Can't find anywhere else it should go :confused:
