That's pretty cool. My sevenstock project needs similar amounts of work and time.

I've always said it will take me 3 months to get my 20B project to where it's drivable. It'll actually never be finished you know. There's always something to do.



Let's get crackin'!

WELL.. I went to the shop today to get a quick look at stuff. I am also considering notching the front cross member to mount the engine as low as possible.. Think thats a good idea?

My REPU has a very heavy exhaust system consisting of six Rotary Engineering glasspacks (two longs, four shorts) and a couple of RX-7 driveshafts as pipes (full length primaries with an H connection about where RB headers would normally Y together). It's grossly overdone and quite heavy. Anyway, all that weight on my old tired motormounts was enough to allow the pan to torque down and hit the crossmember. Or maybe it was simply engine torque?



My advice is to not even bother, since it's already pretty close stock. [hint] I want you to get your truck done quickly! [/hint] I'll be cutting my exhaust in half and leaving only three glasspacks on the truck and using two or three on the GLC. I only really need one if my header collects early, as in my MG. It's only got a single long glasspack with a very short header and a Monza dual tip at the end with little glasspacks in it. It's only a little louder than my REPU, and my REPU is not all that loud.



Both exhausts were done over 10 years ago, when RE was still in business. Man, I wish I could get me some new glasspacks. Somebody out there ought to get the patent and start producing these things again. They're that good.

The problem with my truck is that the original ngine mount crossmember was cut off by the previous owner... so since I have to make custom mounts.. I was thinking Imight as well Locate the engine in its lowest possible position..
