Good question! Well they are now in the factory locations and will not brake under a load. Also if I wanted to run the factory air I have the location freed up where it mounts to. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />

why did you reconfigure the alternator and power steering?

That's where they go on the Sirius lumps. AC compressor hangs off the other side, closer to the firewall, above the K-member.

Coming out of one of my GVR4s last year:

AC compressor left chillin' on the K-member:

What all did you do with your gvr4? I heard they were pretty fast cars.

Getting the Wheeling Fever
im thinking of starting to get together this same setup. But my question is what transmission is getting mated to this? I just got done reading pages of struggles with the right tranny for 2.6 turbo setups in monty's so will the 4 speed auto km132 hold up? this I guess is the question of all questions

Need a Spot
I like this idea of using a 2.4 block with 2.0 head, i myself have an 88 raider that was swapped to a 2.4 engine from a 1990 dodge ram d50 and was made into a carbed setup when we bought it. Now it runs megasquirt with a stock intake mani from the ram and mr2 injectors with accord throttle body. I could not get the stock dizzy to run the ms so i use a honda pickup coil unit (will convert to an entire honda dizzy with sensors soon...)

Hi there! well for my set up im going with the 89 V6 lock up trans, I have a nice complete unit with real low miles waiting to go in as well. I guess some have had problems with the over drive breaking but I think if I keep it off under boost I should be fine. Also you have to use your 4cyl bell housing for this swap to work. Im running a big trans cooler with fan now, with all the towing I do in the summer I have not had any heat issues at all.

Really cool to make this all work like you did. Must have been some long nights in the garage for sure. the thing is you are half way there if you want the dohc set up <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

The KM148 (87>) a/t will be fine, it's probably the strongest tranny after the iron case V5MT1 that won't fit the 2.6 anyway...

The km148 needs a wide block 4g64.

I was just thinking sense you have the 2.4 block in already you could put the 2.0 Dohc head setup from a 4g63. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
