right, i'm trying to install my engine & box together.
it bloody well came out ok from the "old" 2+2, but will it go into the 2 seater?
no it bloody well wont.
my datsun bodyshell manual says take out engine & box as one unit, therefore assembly should be the opposite, yes?
the engine manual says install box seperately.
so, which is right?
the only difference on the 2 seater is it has the later rack & pinion steering-this is the sticking point-literally, no matter what angle of dangle i have on the engine & box it wont go in.
it fouls the steering rack.
bearing in mind i have a back problem & dont/cant fancy lifting a box onto the engine-any ideas?
i'm now seriously thinking of going the whole hog & chucking a "mouse" motor in it.
whats a 58 thousand mile motor with a P90 head & Janspeed turbo & all ancilaries worth then?
