my 85 gs swapping in a gsl-se drive line
 

Well let me start with the history of this car. I seen it at a dealer when i was 23 back in 2002 but didnt have the money being a punk kid i meet this girl that was really into racing and her family raced formula vee in the scca circuit she seen how much i really wanted this car so she kicked my but in gear and i found a decent job on my 25 birthday she called me up and said grab my check book and to meet her at her place so i got off work and did just back she drove me to the dealer where she already had worked a deal out to a price of 1000$ i looked at her and said i dont have that much she said i know i am putting in the rest so you can afford it. I drove this car proudly till in 2005 i blew a apex seal. So it has been sitting ever since till my 35th birthday now 2014 when my now beautiful wife found me a 85 gsl-se that was running but was rotted out bad picked it up for 300$ and had it waiting for me at the house. so i am in the middle of a resto and engine swap here are some pics Attachment 536721

I do have a question in the middle of this I went to bolt up the trans mount and for some reason its not lining up can some one help

did you slot the front engine bracket to install the 6port?

No I didn't so the front subframe are different

13-B is longer than 12-A. Without the slot, you've pushed the engine and tranny back. Reinstall them, tranny/mount first then work on the engine bracket

I have the subframe from the gsl-se so can I just install it and correct the issue

i havent tried that yet snce slotting is less work.

Did u just use a dremel tool to notch it

Thanks for the tip knotched the bracket went right in

Well tonight was a good night fired up the car for the first time in 9years sounds great will post more pics when I am finished
