Default Re: considering an engine swap

Thanks,

So other than fabing some mounts, figuring out a throttle cable and a little electrical it looks to be fairly straight forward.

I bolted them to the frame. I used a mount that has I shaped mounting holes on the engine plate. This way you can adjust the engine front-back and left-right incase something is out of line when you bolt it in. It was very easy for me to install it took about 2 afternoons. You have to know what your doing and have the ability to fabricate if your going to mount it without a kit. I hope I helped and not confused.I kind of typed alot.

Here are some more pictures of my set up...
