I love it! πππ
Can we see more of the engine bay and your work on the swap?
Oh you bet. I'll put together some details for ya when I'm done with work, I just wanted to get the video out there.
Delightful!!
So, I've been asked by my better half to not share too many photos until we finish un-fucking a bunch of the bodged stuff we made in the engine bay to get it to a test drive. Since it's pretty horrific lol. But I can at least give you this:
Here's the engine and trans packaged before we dropped it in, showing the bizzare "longitudinal front wheel drive" that GM built. Its a big chain drive between the engine and a traditional trans that sits along side it.
Boooo! Show us the carnage!
That's wild! And I love it.
I look forward to more as you continue the build.
Thank you!
