getting anywhere on the engine swap?

I tried to fit my Chevy 305 and 700R4. Keyword: Tried.

I have to rework my sub-frame since the oil pan will not clear it. Not sure what to do with the steering. I have to remove the shifter linkage and box in the engine bay. there is no room there either. Atleast there is enough room between the frame rails for it to fit though.

Rear sump Chevy motor is your entire problem. Mine is in position in the car now and I'm just building motor mounts. Everything clears the steering and all. Fits like a glove. Of course I did have to make modifications to the subframe, but nothing near the issues I'm sure you're encountering.

It's sitting in there or whatever. Gotta make mounts and shit. Cool.



Oh and I got all this shit for free.

Got a lot accomplished last weekend. Finished up modding the front subframe to allow some oil pan clearance and mocked up my motor mounts. I took no pictures of what I did... Slacking, I know. But this is what I have.

Worked on Gene's car some.







Tinkered with the frs suspension some more



Picked up a load of parts for the 302



And got back to work.



Been making good steady progress and I'm pretty confident I'll have everything all wrapped up by sowo.

Good.

I'm slacking on updates something serious.

50% of the parts I ordered were WRONG. I **** dealing with auto parts stores... So I sent back a bunch of stuff, put new freeze plugs in the motor, new distributor, new gaskets/seals... blah blah

Picking up another motor Saturday morning to rob all the accessories and exhaust manifolds off of and I'll probably go ahead and knock out all the mounts and start on the trunk of the car. Idk if any of you remember, but I have a fuel cell and it pretty much takes up all usable space in the trunk and to top it off it's pretty nasty after our little fire incident.

Guess I also have some work to do on a Beetle this weekend as well so hopefully I remember to take some pictures this go round and actually make a worth while update.

I didn't get quite as much done as I wanted to over the weekend, but considering how much I was out running the roads and picking up parts the progress wasn't too awful. I got the new motor and trans pickied up early sat morning after a loooong Friday night haha



Pulled the trans, manifolds, and accessories off and stuck them on my engine.



Got it all put back together with new gaskets and freeze plugs.





The I got to play with this awesome exhaust jack.



To pull these off.



To sand blast with the new toy.



So that's that.

Motor goes back in tonight for the last time I hope.
