Looks great, can you post more info about the engine tranny combo and what it took to get it in the car. Any expected problems with the steering box and headers?

wow. this should be really nice. what is the engine from? is it one of the later DOHC versions? isn't that about 170hp? should be a fair bit faster than a cologne v6 alpine. are you keeping the alpine rear end and brakes?
Looking good, skywords.
I'm very interested in seeing how you do the intake and exhaust. Do you plan on keeping or modifying the fender to firewall braces?
Also, did you have any trouble clearing the steering? What about shifter location?

Interesting, my T5 tailhousing meets the main box almost exactly ove rthe center of the Alpine crossmember.
look at that, I'm looking at at catalog showing the alpine tranny mount. That's the ticket!!
Rick, please post a photo of your crossmember is you can.
thanks
The wife and I put the engine in and then were able to easily install the transmission with the engine in place. Lots of clearance where needed. Tommorrows fun fabricate the tranny mount. This engine tranny package fits like it was made for the car.
Yes, I'd like to see them too.
