hows it comin' updates?

 

I've been fitting the tranny up to the motor. The adapter plate needed some modification as well as the block so I cut a chunk off the block so the starter can clear. Pics coming soon.

 

updates!

 

tomorrow guys!

Important update... Got myself a TIG welder. Now I just gotta learn how to use the damn thing LOL.

 

Very carefully, lol...

...i'm sure you know a boat load more about welding than i do, but TIG welding is for sure an art that doesn't come without practice - so practice on some scraps before you take that torch to the motor

 

nice, i hope it fits. haha.

 

...gunna need a new grinding wheel for those electrodes

 

Here's a look at what had to be done in order for he VG starter to clear the Transmission adapter plate and the VH block.

I used one of the spare blocks to do some initial test cutting and grinding.





Here's what I did to the actual block. I ended up taking a big chunk off since the excess material served absolutley no purpose. There were no dowel pins or harness points in the way. Now, my next concern is how only half of the tranny bolts up to the block. I want to make two brackets that come from the side of the block and bolt to the bottom of the transmission.

 

bump bump, bump bump

 

Finish it!!!! Gaah haha, I wanna see the results so bad.

Build a duplicate engine with all supporting hardware, software. I may want one later!

 

I'm watching with interest. I'm in the planning stages of putting a vh45 into a s13. I'll be going NA though for a while.
