Ok per request I posted this up without the steering column section as it won't be ready for another month or so.



Just a warning that I don't take any responsibilities in case anything happens to you, your dog, or your neighbours for attempting this conversion.



Please right click and save as:

Any questions or concerns can be send to me at: omid@bcrx7.com



Cheers,

Omid

Good stuff.If I build another car I will take this swap into consideration.Providing the steering colum is just as simple.But I am a fabricator so I can make things work.

The steering column is pretty straightforward. Just need one cutting and one weld. It's almost like it was made for this car.

How was the 5 lug swap on the rear of your car?I work at a Fab shop and could get the machining done at work.



Thanks

not really b/c couple of holes come really close to the stock holes and that is not safe specially under heavy acceleration and braking.

Hey Omid, are you going to use the side mounts for the engine then?
