I painted the engine bay a couple of weeks ago:
Before:
During:
After:
started getting the bay prepped for the motor and trans:
Cleaned up and mounted both headlight motors:
Mounted brake booster and catch can:
View from the back to the front:
And an overview:
I also got my alternator bracket mounted:
Radiator hoses (see quarter for size reference).
Since I was installing the engine/tranny by myself, lots of covering was necessary
Engine in and bolted down (trans is still resting on a jack as I have to move the mount ~6" forward):
Space with the relocated radiator support:
Space behind the motor... about 1-1.5"... perfect...
Intake installed:
Headers/turbo installed:
Relocated fusebox:
VERY tight fit... but it will be nice and snug:
Front view. Note the tranny cooler lines... they ended up being the perfect length.
IC tubing installed:
IC installed:
We started building my exhaust last night...
And then we got the fittings welded to the radiator and water pump. It only looks like I planned it to fit this well... believe me... I just got lucky LOL.
In other news, I'm selling the GSX if anyone is interested.
