ok here we go!!!
we did it, engine change AND wired up in 10 hours!!!
thats including pizza breaks messing around with the engine hoist brakes etc... as you know.
anyway piccies and a few discriptions!!

First of all, bonnet off (gotta mark this up so it goes back on streight)



gearstick off



carbs off



engine hoist in place



undo stuff!



lift it out!!



see the big hole you left (omg!)




look at the old engine.... with a tear in your eye- say goodbye!




and hello to the new one!!





drop it in. mount it up





admire your work and start wiring up!





realise the new gearstick doesnt fit under the origional gator... *DOH!*



take random pics to remember how things get wired up while they are down in the car!



why not invite a few friends around to help!




then work away all through the day!




take the car off the jacks... and realise theres a lot of neggy camber of the capper with the rear springs fully compressed!




then... marvel at your work!!





alpha management ECU AKA THE BOX OF THE DEVIL



just to check on the pressure so the carbs dont get overloaded



new electric fan as theres no viscous couplings here!



engine sits nice and far back to the bulkhead



yet still has loads of room up front!



and oh yes...... we cant go away without starting her up and giving her a few revs.

bit of an eventful startup. running no exhaust and just a 4-2-1 ashley manifold... it backfired twice. and when it did it sounded like a bomb went off!!!!

enjoy the video and the updates!!
