I know some folks do and some do not belong to the FB SOXW Group. For those who don't bother, I wanted to share my latest 2nd project.
Some months back I bought a members black 74 with the intention of a future K20 swap. However some things happened that led me to start the project sooner. The main one being an engine and other parts that fell into my lap for almost nothing. I figured since I am doing work on one to prep it for an engine swap, why not 2? (stopping at 2!!)
This car has a Dallara body kit on it with a decent paint job and needs some love here, but perfect for a swap. BTW - took out a PBS engine and 4 speed transaxle so those parts may come up for sale...More on that later.
Here is the car:
Almost a crate engine, I guess you call it a "pallet" engine.
Cut and engine fitted - I guess I am getting good at this. Fit first time with perfect clearance.
This car WILL get the all motor build k24/k20 engine + electric water pump as it will fit much better with far less work to the engine bay, no need for secondary heat exchanger (for super charger, etc.,) I can keep everything else pretty much stock but get a ton of power too. I will weld in the rest of the metal next time I get to the car. It's about 135 miles from me, so it's weekends and holidays or "sick" days when I can wrench on it.
I will keep everyone posted or see updates on fiatmonkey.com
