Re-Fitting Engine
Hi Guys
I pulled the engine and rebuilt it and sent some parts of for powder coating and chrome. Problem is, the exhaust and inlet and heater system isnt
finished yet.
So my question is
The engine now is a long motor with clutch, so If i fit that, can i then add the heating and exhausts, by that I mean all those plates and boxes and
that big fan shroud part and associated parts, or is it too much hard work or not even possible.
Thanks Trevor

I have fitted the shroud/gen tin wear etc. both ways and engine out of the car is way easier. You also get a better view to inspect your work, and no
sore back!

Mega keen to get it together hey?
I don't blame ya.
I remember working on the 1500 semi auto when it was fitted. although a baja and chopped, which made it ALOT easier, seeing whats going on from behind
etc and around was not really.... hard, but still annoying.
Now workin on the 1600tp on my bare floor pan, having full 360 degree access around the motor is brilliant and alot more productive. keep up the
patience! If its possible... cause its like being a kid with a bowl of candy in front of ya that you just can't touch...

69' baja: kombi box, thing spindles, irs, disc front, type 3 rear drums, 2 inch lift kit, 31x10 rears.
New engine in process: 94mm p&bs, 74mm C/w chomol Crank, 35.5x39 SP heads, turbo. Wierd combo, hopeful torque monsta!
