the new motor is all together except the intake carb and dist. then the acc. but those are not going on till its in the tracker. got the mock motor where i want it and everything looks good. need to make a crossmember but i have to work around the front drive shaft so have to figure that out yet. then i found that my upper brackets for the rear links are bent to crap so i have to re do them after i get the mock motor out. looks like i got some work to do  lol.....



Crazymays77

well i went and got a carb, dist and some odds and ends from mudbrat71. thanks man.



Crazymays77

well i got everything made for the motor trans and tcase to get put in now. I made the crossmember and finished the motor mounts and pulled the old motor and welded everything solid. then painted everything. here are a few pics of the motor and the engine bay.

Well the new motor is in and got most the acc. on the motor. just need to find a way to bypass the a.c compressor and the smog pump. here is a couple pics i took with the camera phone so not sure how well they will turn out.

Looks Great! Keep up the good work Cory  GotMud?

Crazymays77

well i got the tcase swapped out for a good one today got the good one in too. i got the elec fuel pump and ordered some parts for the motor acc. I got the radiator mounts in just need to make the upper ones to hold it down just havent figured out how i want to do that part yet. now i need to get a throttle cable that will hook to the carb and my gas pedal. then i need to make a bracket for the shifter cable to work. then on to wiring it all up. lots to do yet.

advance in clio had the ac bypass pully in stock for my ford i bet they got urs

Crazymays77

yeah i ended up just leaving the a/c on it the bypass that i got wasnt the right one and that was the only one they showed for my motor so screw it i will just leave the a/c on it. got some of the wiring done today. just need to get some toggle switches for the acc.
