alright here we go boys and girls!! The motor is in!! Now i had a problem with the shifter since it is from a 85, so i had to cut around the shifter hole to make it fit, the real problem is making the plastic cover fit. I will have to cut, and i do not want to, but that is the way it goes. pics soon.

Alright,
The motor is in and the trans too. The radiator and oil cooler are bolted up and plugged in. driveline and electrical are up as well. There is only one problem.... THE CLUTCH FAN DOESN'T F****** FIT!!! I have tried everything and the stupid thing will not go on!!! So I think i need to get a electric type but i am not sure where to get it, how to install it, or how much its gonna cost. Could someone give me some info? Oh the radiator is 50% larger capacity.

i picked iy up from www.tweakit.net. here are some of the pics i was promising. I am worried that i am forgeting something though. Besides the problem with the fan, this repair had gone very smoothly.... I know i am forgeting something.

well, the end is here. The motor i have been working on is no good. I hadn't been able to get it to run and was wondering what was the problem. so i did recon for ignition etc. and it all worked out. BUT i hadn't checked the rear rotor when i bought it, so i did today. guess what? I bought a already blown motor. Rear rotor is totally trashed. I am not sure what i am going to do. I am a college student with no more cash to put into the car. That whole eating and paying for school thing you understand... So I think its time for me to call it quits....

Grab an engine from Pull-A-Part. Look for the Leak of Death. Pull the exhaust manifold off and check for apex seal gouges or burnt coolant. Check the plugs. Pull the pan. You can get a short block for dirt cheap and get it running.
