engine replacement

[JOE RYAN]

I have never taken a motor out this way but from what I can imagine don't you have to disconnect the steering from the rack and pinion and the brake line

Cheers

well the 186 is out...










took a few beers and a few up and downs.... (torsion bar ends catching under the wish bone) but other then that it was pretty straight forward.... after all the advice... 


i have it sitting on stands that are placed under the bar/cross member that holds the back end of the gear box, is that a safe place to have them untill i paint up the front end and stick the 202 in?

[able]

i painted up the front end..... and im positioning the 202




the oil pan seems to be resting on the front end a bit....




she will be right? or wood wedge bash time?

if ur sumps touching the chassis(crossmember)  u will need to use  the right sump and pickup tube.
u will need 2 use the 186 ones.
while the motors out check the welch plugs are in good nick. brass onesare the go.

im just thowing an idea out there.

it looks like the right sump to me.


you dont have anything supporting the back of the motor. once the motor and gearbox goes in it will be supported by trany crossmember. so it will lift it up and you should have an inch clearance or something.

at the moment the motor is being supported by your engine mounts and crain yeh?

yep ben its the stock 202 sump. i have a jack (with a soft wood block) underneath the back now but not in the pic because i needed to remove the crane to lock up the garage.

the one from the 186 sat a little further back but i have just finished painting and putting new seals in the 202 and it will be a shame to have to get the kerosene out again.....

how much lift will it get when bolted up to the gear box so i can simulate with the jack?

would it hurt or buga anything if i gave it a dint in the offending area if i do not get the clearance i need?

how much clearance is enough?

do i need to put lock tight on the four chassis bolt that hold the front end in?

[Marishka]

ask Johnno( John Abbot) for a picture of the sump he took outa his truck,
and had 2 replace with the right 1. 
thats 1 way 2 fix the clearance. lol.
