Weight?
This car looks as if it will end up being pretty heavy. What weight are you anticipating?

that looks like there needs to be some realignment on this one. cut it free of the tube and reweld it so that the bushing mount and the bolt are coliniarThe completed fore engine mount.

Yes, it could be a bit heavy. But we will not know until it is done.
I always do my engine mount at an angle since I am doing engines. When the rubber mount bear the weight of the engine, the engine is wedged between the rubbers, preventing side to side movement. Or is there a new way of mounting an engine?

WWhat happened to this thread? Is their a part 3 I can't find? :help:
I am very sorry for the long delay. That is about 40 days of none posting. Too much work on my wife's Rice Milling business and I am also working free for our Parish. Plus I had a two week sabatical on my birthday last August 4. Now the fun proceeds again.
Because of the tightness of the available space, this is the best I can do for the A-arms.
Drivers side:
Heim joint on the spindle:
Heim joint upper mounting on the tubular frame.
Front view from the passenger side.
The Coil over shocks will be mounted in-board (like a Formula 1) with rocker arms and push rod. The space is tight, so that is my only recourse.

I just finished machining some components for the suspension.
The push rod with the rocker arm
Close up of the rocker arm. Each side of the rocker arm has two ball bearings.
Attachment point of the hub and the push rod. I used 5/8" heim joint.
View of the rocker arm, squared to the push rod.
Another view of the assembly.

Amazing Work!
Just read through PT's I & II - really spectacular work!
Looking forward to seeing the refinement of the shell, as well as the mechanical installations...

We are now mocking-up the position of the in-board coilover shocks.
The bearing flange of the bell-crank.
Tentative position of the cranks.
Another shot of the assembly.
All has been tack-welded. If I find the geometry to be ok, the sub-frame will be removed and sand blasted. Then all points will be "fully-welded" and properly braced for strength.

That looks pretty cool, what shocks are using? I am considering building a subframe for my X project so it will make it easier to service.

Looks like one of these
4A-GZE
The 4A-GZE (produced in various forms from 1986 through 1995) was the supercharged version. Based on the same block and head, the 4A-GZE was equipped with a roots-type supercharger and therefore the compression ratio, valve timing and ports were modified. It was used in the supercharged AW11 Toyota MR2, rated at 165 hp (124 kW) and 140 ft·lbf (190 N·m). Later versions of this engine are rated 170 hp (127 kW) and 155 ft·lbf (210 N·m) for the AE92 and AE101 Corolla.
These engines are also popular for a turbo conversion, as many parts don't need to be modified to support the extra boost.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
