Length of the tranny differs, I would use the final tranny to mock up. I would set the motor first, then do the tranny mount last with the motor and tranny in place, and make the tranny rear output flange and the rear diff pinion flange parallel, or you'll never get rid of the driveshaft vibrations...

Just a matter of buying some steel and getting things going. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> Richard E 1989 Montero - Stock-ish 1989 V6 Auto Raider - 5.3 Vortech Swap. 1987 Mitsubishi Starion 2.6t, soon to be 3.5 1983 Honda XL600R Re: Possible LS1 swap into the Gen1?

I am also planning on an external eletric water pump. It won't be the easiest thing Ive done, but I want my Raider to be more of an original build, so I am fine with the extra work.

Engine comes first because after I have a running truck again, it will force my hand into torching that floppy front end off. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> Richard E 1989 Montero - Stock-ish 1989 V6 Auto Raider - 5.3 Vortech Swap. 1987 Mitsubishi Starion 2.6t, soon to be 3.5 1983 Honda XL600R Re: Possible LS1 swap into the Gen1?
