Cuz it was cheap. It's a stopgap anyway, eventually the car will get a built TH400, stronger driveshaft, and a better rear-end. For now, I just want to get the swap done and see how the engine runs.

Well, I now have the mounts figured out. The engine location is finalized, trans is exactly where it needs to be to reuse the driveshaft, and the headers will fit after all. The power steering pump...

Cool, sounds like it'll be a rocket.

I'd love some stock buckets, but whatever hits the yards around here usually isn't worth putting in a car.... I'll just keep my eyes open, but these will do...

Well, I managed to get the engine in for a test-fit, and it confirmed one thing- I have a lot of work to do.

To mount it so that the trans tail is in the original location, the A/C module had to...

Oh yeah, I picked up some seats, guy says they're from a Sunbird. They're pretty comfortable, though I'd like a better color match. The good part is, there is now room for a shifter.

When I advertised the engine and trans for sale, I promised the crossmember and mounts would go with. I plan on using the stocker as a pattern to make one up to clear dual exhaust anyway.
