Looks like a tight fit. Plus you could run the intercooler through the factory intake hole

Nice nice, how did everything fit with the power steering? Might be interested in some engine mounts once you geti them done. Looks like I have to get rid of my bre engine, since I have no one to tune it. At least there are a ton of piston tuners here.

We used a steering rack from another car. We had the steering pump with the motor so we didnt have to worry about that. I will let u know once the car is on the road if it works good.

Once everything is in place, we are taking it apart and making some cosmetic adjusments. All fab work on this project (engine, tranny and rear end mounts and braces) was done by RAW. Rich Auto Works. So we can't thank him enough for all his amazing work. Its still a long road ahead for us here at the shop but i think at the end it will all be worth it.

We originally were staying twins but at some point after we started the swap desided on going single. So it changes a little the original plan but thats how things go.
