TIB3300 389 Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) Said in an earlier post, I had to change the bellhousing and flywheel, I have now fitted a Dodge dart bellhousing. As you can see its a lot smaller with a shallower angle. giving more clearance in the tunnel. Edited March 28, 2020 by TIB3300 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIB3300 389 Posted March 28, 2020 Anyway been a busy week making engine mount locations , the most time consuming thing as making sure the engine was in the centre of the bay and at the right angle. I now have the engine sitting about 10mm over to the passengers side at around 7.25 degrease. I found by rotating the original engine mounts instead of facing out in a V angle, I could have them facing down ward toward the crossmember. These mounts are my prototypes as I don't really know what I am doing So they are fully adjustable forward and back side to side . When am happy with the position of the engine I will make some stronger ones with just one hole rather then the adjustable holes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIB3300 389 Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) In other news, I have to mate the Ford T5 box to the Dodge engine Happy days, I got a 10.5in Dodge clutch pressure plate and a Ford T5 plate and they fit together . What you can see is a Dodge flywheel, dodge clutch pressure plate with a T5 Ford friction plate Edited March 28, 2020 by TIB3300 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
