oldskoolvws Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 I was going to tell you do yourself a favor and use the ABF alternator setup. Or at a least an ABA setup but I spy in one of your oics, your already there. Looks like ABA. The ABF is awesome because it can be taken off / swapped in a matter of about 30 seconds.

SublimeDatsun610 Posted July 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 so the boy and i went buck wild and tossed in the engine. i have a few things to reconfigure with the mounts and the clutch fork. everything on paper worked out good, till i pit the engine in. wasn't exactly how i measured it out. but its isn't that big of a problem.

oldskoolvws Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Where did you have the adapter plate for the motor to trans? Cost? Quote Link to comment
SublimeDatsun610 Posted July 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 There are two adaptors one for toyota bellhousing from ACME and the one for toyhota bell to chevy trans from OTT. I think I have about 1000 to 1100 into the adapters combined. I am so looking forward to my next project after this one is done. got plans for a 521 vw diesel with a yota trans. Quote Link to comment

SublimeDatsun610 Posted July 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Man no sooner i started the engine, my wife tripped over my shit pile in the garage and took a header. i had to cut the video without burning anything down. wife is OK,a little bruised but she is good for taking a beating so all is OK.

SublimeDatsun610 Posted July 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 i used what i had for materials in the garage to whip this bracket up. my son said it barelt took 45 min from start to finish. sadly i no longer have my work service truck with the Mig welder so i got this slag slinger from harbor frieght for 90 bux its functional. not pretty but does the job.master is installed, line has been routed. what is next is waiting for the soft line for the clutch and double flare the end, bleed it and try it out.
