RE: My Big Thread of Questions for My V8 Conversion...
Thought of another one:
4.) I'm going to try and explain this as best I can...
Imagine that there is an imaginary axis going straight through the middle of the camshaft, from the water pump to the timing chain, and another imaginary axis through both the heads, perpindicular to that first axis. Sound confusing, ehh?
When I swap this motor into the Hatchback shell, how do I make sure that the block isn't rotated upon either or both of these axes? In other words, how can I prevent thr block hanging further down on either side, or tilting forward towards the radiator, or backwards towards the firewall? Will the mounts do this themselves because they can only be bolted in straight?
LOL Just one of the things I think about when I am supposed to be paying attention at school.
