Freightrain Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 From what I have been told so far....the water pump and balancer from your original motor will need to be used. The starter will be on the drivers side on new motor, which will need to be moved to passenger side for clearance(from what I have been told? ) Not sure what you need to do there? Use your original bellhousing between 285/5 spd?This is a job that I would like to look into later, but I still want my twin sticks...so I would probably re-use my triplex(or something similar) though not really needed. Not sure...that is a project for someday.............. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................
