1. |
Preparing the frame: |
|
Remove the original engine and transmission. |
|
Clean the frame of any dirt and rust, especially around the area where the
motor mounts need to be welded (see illustration). |
|
|
2. |
Installing Motor Mounts |
|
Mock up the new engine and transmission into the fame. |
|
Check for clearance and interference (fan to radiator, firewall, exhaust
to steering). |
|
Locate the motor mount location in frame, a reference dimension is given
in the illustration, and mark the frame where the motor mounts are positioned. |
|
The motor mounts are marked left and right. If there is a doubt, the tubes
for the 7/1 6 x 4" bolts should be lower in the rear than on the front. |
|
Remove engine and transmission. |
|
Position motor mounts where the frame is marked and tack weld in place. |
|
Double check measurement for location and squareness. |
|
Final weld mounts. |
|
Paint over welded and bare metal area. |
|
Install engine and transmission. |
