OK now that i have the motor in the car and the mounts all bolted down,,,
I would have made the mounts a little different, they will work fine as they are, and i am sure
the motor is in the same location as the ready made mounts would have put it in ,
but if i had to do it again, i would have made the mounts so that the motor
would have been sitting lower under the hood,
as it is there is about a inch
or room between the pan and the cross member, i know i could have gotten it closer,
making it easier to fit the hood.
O well I am not planning on pulling it out for a while, or until it blows

Ok small correction to my last post, the motor mounts are
100% in the right place, I didn't have the back of the
trani up high enough, so the front of the motor was up
as a result, now that the trani is up I have another
problem, that big cosmo auto is touching the top of the
tunnel, I really don't want to pull the darn thing out to
hammer the tunnel up, anyone have any ideas how i
can get in there without pulling the motor again?
Or should i let it hit, and with the movement of the motor
let it hammer itself up?

yes stock almost everything, i figure that it should make
as good a numbers in the fc or better than it did in
the big cosmo body I do plan on a mod to run 1.2 bar
which should make more than enough power
You didn't answer my space over the trani problem.

Well i pulled the motor,,, again,,, and hammered more
room over the trani,,, fits nice now!!! drive shaft should be
ready by the weekend, and i might even have the
wiring all in and ready to test drive by the time i get the
drive shaft,,, I have the back of the trani up high enough
now that the hood might fit over the ic pipes

Found out today that i don't have to cut up my TII drive
shaft, the piece that bolts up to the diff. is the same as
the cosmo flange so all i have to do if shorten the cosmo drive shaft

Damn. You are hauling *** on your project. And doing it quite cost effectively too. Keep it up!
