Amazing
I just finished reading this thread and I have to say that the results so far are quite incredible. Considering the shape the car was in when this project first started up to now has given me hope that my car will one day run again. Thanks for the inspiration and the laughs.

So I went to take the flywheel off, and realized I had the wrong flywheel "stopper". Mine was for a NT flywheel, and this one is a turbo flywheel. I ordered the part, and I'll be opening her up this weekend. BTW, the "mockup" motor is mounted in the car with new solid mounts. Mounted lower and farther back than stock. And the front suspension has begun to be modified. The control arm is now fancy adjustable stuff! No more antiroll bar up front either. Maybe I'll get pics of those one day and post em hahaha. Im just excited to be able to turn my wheels with the fenders on the car!

Motor is open, and appears to be in good condition. Time to start the rebuild process. How do I determine what rotors are in it? (compression) And how do I determine what stationary gears are in it? Or what the front counterweight is for that matter? I know it has a turbo flywheel, but I dont know how to determine if its from a T2 or a FD. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks guys!

as for your flywheel question,mazdatrix has a page on how to identify flywheels,once you identify the flywheel the rest should pretty much match the year of that flywheel.

Ok. My flywheel is numbered with a "318". So, according to that chart, it is a 86-88 turbo flywheel. And going by that, it would indicate that it is a 8.5:1 compression, correct? I'd like to double check the rotors and counterweight just to make sure this is all matching stuff.

Doc, if you're going N/A you want the higher compression N/A rotors. I just use the mazdatrix guide and weigh the rotors you have and use their chart and that will tell you which one's you have. You can alos, tell by the shape of the couterweights off of the mazdatrix website to tell which one's you have. Don't just go by what flywheel you have. I tore down two 12a's that had 83-85 rotors with 81-82 flywheel. People that don't know what they are doing mix match parts all the time. If you are going all N/A, I recommend balancing the rotating assy anyway.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) is the first full-length animated feature (83 minutes in length) in color and with sound, one of Disney's greatest films, and a pioneering classic tale in film history. It was financed due in part to the success of Disney's earlier animated short, The Three Little Pigs (1933). Although dubbed "Disney's Folly" during the three-four year production of the musical animation, Disney realized that he had to expand and alter the format of cartoons.
It was the first commercially successful film of its kind and a technically brilliant, innovative example of Disney animation. It was also the first film to release a motion picture soundtrack album. The story was adapted from the original Brothers Grimms' Fairy Tales, but in a bowdlerized or sanitized version, without overt sexual references or violent content. Disney's version of the Grimm Brothers' fairy tale was the second of its kind - the first was a five-minute Snow White (1933) starring Betty Boop (with an appearance by Cab Calloway).
It was the first Disney film distributed by RKO Studios (this arrangement lasted until 1953, when Disney established its own distribution company - named Buena Vista). Snow White was the last major classic film that Disney released to the consumer market on videotape - in late 1994!
The story is a familiar one: raised by a wicked and vain Queen (voice of Lucille La Verne), beautiful Snow White (voice of nineteen year-old Adriana Caselotti) is taken into the forest to be murdered. However, the Huntsman (voice of Stuart Buchanan) cannot commit the horrible deed, so she flees and finds refuge in the home of seven diamond-mine workers/dwarfs.
