[QUOTE="N8dogg, post: 15168382, member: 28802"] My very understanding wife let me take up the whole garage (while her car set outside in the cold) while I did all the major fab work on fitting the new motor. Very cool of her haha im sure one day ill pay for that one...:shrug: Dropping motor.. I didn't want to lift the car from the level spot I had it on so I decided to just cut the radiator support out, turns out that was the best thing... it allowed me to move the radiator forward and be able to slide the viper motor in and out (like a million times) fitting it.. [ATTACH=full]671239[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]671240[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]671241[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]671242[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]671243[/ATTACH] I had to swap the stock viper oil pan from one off the viper truck.. The stock pan didn't have a rear sump and was basicly too tall for the k member.. The truck pan however was WAY too deep and had to be modified, not a huge deal tho. I bought a UPR 2" drop unfinished K member so I could fab my own motor mounts and steering rack mounts. Pics Pics Pics.. [ATTACH=full]671244[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]671245[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]671246[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]671247[/ATTACH] Fabbed up a trans brace.. Used some new stock steering rack bushings as well as later I modified my design and added a piece of 3/4" rubber directly under where the trans mounts to add some more flex.. [ATTACH=full]671248[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]671249[/ATTACH] After the motor was actually bolted to the car and in final resting place I started working on re building the radiator support to accomidate my new C&R dual pass radiator and electric fan.. I built in two pieces, and made it removable so i can slide the motor out the front if I (one day) decide to go built motor... I used the mounts off the stock support so i would have the same type of allowable flex for the radiator to expand and contract..

[ATTACH=full]671255[/ATTACH] I had to accommodate for the volume of fluid capacity lost in depth with width, again this played out perfectly for welding points (which i forgot to do before i re installed the pan) for the turbo drains. [ATTACH=full]671256[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]671257[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]671258[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]671259[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]671260[/ATTACH] I am keeping AC on the car, but of course the stock condenser is a no go, so i got this universal unit from Vintage Air.

I didn't take pictures of that but it worked good. [ATTACH=full]671262[/ATTACH] Heres a shot of the modified trans crossmember with the added rubber.. And a nice clean undercarriage from the trans forward, Will do the rest after i finish the exhaust. [ATTACH=full]671263[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]671264[/ATTACH] I painted the engine bay orange and the intake manifold and valve covers black.. [ATTACH=full]671265[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]671266[/ATTACH] Car moved back so my wife can park in the garage again.. My brother in law somehow got in the pic.. [ATTACH=full]671267[/ATTACH] more coming... [/QUOTE]
