The red shell hasn't been plated for years now. So I just used it as a prototype. Dreaming of towing it around. Now I get to have a fresh shell!

Ahhh progress. Takes a while though. Thought that after doing this so many times I'd get it in really fast but nope. It's getting there! I knew it didn't physically fit the bay but I didn't remember by how much and that i'd have to modify the left support position after smashing the right frame rail this much. I don't want to have to redo this just because i'm not happy with it so I'm going to take my time and set it exactly where I want it. I Don't have a lift and the car still has its whole front end and i'd like to keep it that way so I had to lift the front up WAYYYY high to get the engine in. Like I said. It wont fit from the top because the H5m tranny is so damn huge. So now the next step is to Pull the bottom to give the engine a bit of rake and to put solid mounts as I adjust the side mounts and fab the left one. The prototype shell had a welded left mount. I want a bolted in version this time around.

Welp I failed. Teaches me to fab without all the surrounding parts. I won't be able to drop the engine an extra inch. Oh well it won't stop me.

what is preventing you lowering the engine another inch?---Has ClubProtege helped you in someway? show your support by Contributing--- Click Here---

Ah I explain myself pretty bad sometimes. In that photo the engine is lowered about an inch and I previously made the manifold/tubo assembly while the engine was about an inch higher. Now the whole set up seems a bit too low. I may or may not go forth and remove the bumper and fab a set of bars for the front. My radiator idea will not work with the turbo this low but will work if either I fabricate a bumper to make room or possibly raise the entire assembly some. I really don't have the pockets to start making another exhaust header. Poor planning on my part. I'm a novice afterall...

Ok I fixed everything! It's higher but everything fits straight side to side and front to back.

god i love how sleek that is. do you mind humoring me with some undershots of the bottom of the oil pan in reference to the control arms???
I would like to get a F2 block & rework my FE3 head to it. I know the extra block height will cause some concern tho. curious how a pure f2 system sits on the lower end of things.---Has ClubProtege helped you in someway? show your support by Contributing--- Click Here---

I'll get u some soon. I doubt the fe3 head fits the block. The oil return is very different. Best bet is to use the f2t crankshaft in the fe3 block from what I've read on mx6.com

I got quite a lot done today. I love long weekends. The secondary shift rod or stationary rod or whatever you call it bolts right in. No mods, nothing. I was like....WHAAAAAA....****ing right, destiny! All I had to do was lengthen the primary shift rod. Easy as pie. Love it!
After all that much needed easy work, (for once, plz I didn't have to modify anything for once) I attacked the radiator support and pretty much the whole front end. I got more pictures to take, most of them were black because I didn't use the flash. Phones are **** sry. Lots of on and off with the bumper. It's not perfect yet but here is where i'm at.
