[quote name='rowtareh' date='Jul 10 2005, 12:33 PM']wow. you could probably sell those motor mounts now. she should be a nice beast when complete. why did you choose to swap the rew in? just had it available?

Im already a step ahead of you, just trying to get a website up.
I chose the REW for a number of reasons, but availability had a lot to do with it. Its also a solid block with extra bracing around the upper downel pin area, and an oiling system on par with most race-prepped motors fc motors. And then sequential twins.

The green is mold release compound. Im in the middle of making a mold for feed style UIM covers, but I had to put the UIM back on the car to put the engine in since the lift eye is on the UIM.
If you wanted to tint metallic pieces, mix some color in with clearcoat and spray that onto the piece. The ratio of color to clear will determine how much it tints whatever you painted.

Those mounts look very nice...but shouldn't they be braced to the rear iron higher up? Like the way the stock RE mounts bolt onto the rear iron half-way up.....at least thats the way it is on my buddies Cosmo RE motor.

Why? These mounts are still stronger than they need to be. Not to mention that there isnt anything to secure it to, and no room to secure it on the pass side. And both FD mounts and the pass side fc mount attach only to the bottom of the irons, and I have yet to see the metal part of any of those engine mounts fail.

[quote name='89 Rag' date='Jul 10 2005, 11:05 PM']Nice work, looks like it went together in a hurry too.
I thought that car was nothing more than soon to be history, I guess twins will do that to ya'!

Running will be another story. Ive got a million little things left to do. Mostly wiring and plumbing, and new radiator, oil cooler, and IC mounts, and ducting.
