Oh ok. Which oil pan were you going to use? Or a flat sump?

Everything on the engone so far is stock T2... This way there is less stuff to modify.. Since I am gonna use the T2 engine mounts too..

here's a pic of an RE glasspack in my Midget. This is my first pic to post here, so let's see if this works. If so, I'll be able to post pics of my GLC coversion (just have to shoot and scan them).

Cool that worked.



Let me know how your mounts go. I'd like to install a 20B in an REPU some day and need to use side mounts. It's already cut up a little and it's even white, so you know it would be perfect for a 20B.



Do you know if the T2 pan will even fit?

I test fit the engine.. and it actually fit on the mounts that were welded in for the $ banger, but was about 6 incehes to high to mate with the tranny.. so one I cut the off I should be ok.. I don't mind customizing my truck since it has been very tampered with..

Here is a picture of the engine bay.. I highlighted the new engine mounts.. which have to be cut off...

You could use the stock pads that look like they're still below those boinger mounts. I was going to use them in my REPU, but I decided to not put a 20B in it because it's in decent shape bodywise and interior. Only the mechanicals are worn. I couldn't justify cutting it up. However this other REPU has ok mechanicals but worse interior/exterior. It's better at higher speeds than mine. It would be much better for a 20B sleeper in my opinion, plus it's white, which seems to be the color of choice for 20B FC projects for some reason. No one really knows why. It's kinda weird how it works out, even with this REPU.



Check out the pic in all its ugliness: http://www.geocities.com/cd23c/cars.html#rick

I've got a couple pics of an engine R&R I did on this truck a few weeks ago. I just have to scan them.



They really moved the rad forward, didn't they. Were you going to get a custom 4 core rad made for the T2?

To save $$ to get it running I am gonna get a stock T2 or Second gen Radiator.. But eventually get a fluidyne and E-fan.. the white truck looks pretty complete.. What you mentioned about handling is what worries me about the truck.. I doubt it will be able to safely put dowm the power from the T2 engine.. so I just wanna get it running so I can start working on getting it to handle better..





It seems like I will have to 20b my Vert too since it is white as well..
