Well, I have the engine and CR tranny mated together. I still have to enlarge the opening for the Curt Radiator and pound out the tunnel a little more. My plan is to jack up the car high enough to slide it under the car and then hoist it in position.

Date: 10-12-05 09:19 From: Blunt Subject: what oil cooler are you running?
it looks like you have some "an" adapters of some sort attached. i think ill run a cooler just to the left of the passenger headlight ala bob from skidmark
Date: 10-12-05 09:22 From: Blunt Subject: hey phil
i bet that UUC water pump nut isnt going to fit. i had to cut the threads off my waterpump to get 1/4 inch clearance between my pump and radiator. have you test fit it yet?
In the same progress. I just have Drive shaft to do and the steering (Converting to steering rack).
Date: 10-12-05 09:28 From: Phil/Bomb Guy in Colorado Subject: I did not rebuild........ engine has 87k
Internally, I just replaced the oil pump. I did strip off all the external items, Por 15 the block, powder coated the valve cover and plenum. I then replaced everything with new parts.
Date: 10-12-05 09:30 From: Phil/Bomb Guy in Colorado Subject: Thanks, It was my first attempt at powder coating at home(nt)
Date: 10-12-05 09:35 From: Phil/Bomb Guy in Colorado Subject: I will be using the stock E30M3 oil cooler
The fittings you are looking at are for a remote oil filter. The oil filter was very close to the steering box and could not be removed without hitting it. I'm not sure where I will be mounting it. I'll have to wait till the engine is in. The remote oil filter kit is from Amsol.
Date: 10-12-05 09:41 From: Phil/Bomb Guy in Colorado Subject: I know it will not fit, but it looks good
What did you use to cut off the water pump shaft? I did a test cut on the old water pump with a hack saw and I couldn't cut through the shaft! That sucker was hard.

Date: 10-13-05 06:34 From: Michael P Subject: What are you doing for oil cooling + filter?
Looks great. Kinda hard to see what's going on with the oil filter adapter. What's the plan? Remote filter? I'd love to hear about it and/or the remote oil cooler.
Date: 10-13-05 07:33 From: Martin in CO Subject: Great! That motor cleaned up nicely.
