So yeah scratch that idea for a FC radiator working. Got the motor sitting as far back as possible and iv only got 40ish mm between the front of the 1G supercharger clutch and the the front panel of the engine bay. Lots of room for a radiator but its got to fit the drivers side of the engine bay
-
What sorta radiator does the 1G starlet run as this is for a 1G
-
Would a 13b turbo rx7 radiator be sufficient for cooling a boosted 2L engine. I'm limited for space with my engine swap but a 3 core alloy FC radiator looks like it will fit in my limited area and I know dorito motors like to run hot

I like the sound of the EV Kia Stinger 800km range and 450kw

Productive day at the Powershed
Got the modified sump and pickup onto the GZE, installed spigot bearing flywheel and clutch to engine and offered it up to the engine hole
Much fucking around ensued because of the loooongboi crank pulley and SC clutch on the GZE making a small engine rather long so pressure plate and clutch off the engine slide the gearbag back as much as possible rotate the engine 45 degrees in the engine bay while tipping it to precarious angles then scrape swear and twist til its in there
Gearbag tunnel needs a slight massage to fit one of the heater hardline/mod the hardline as the engine is sitting not quite center and on a slight angle as the photos show
This is minimum clearance on the draglink for steering which I hope is certable @cletus
AAAAND I have minimal room for a radiator thanks to looooongboi pulleys but I will get the engine in its final position before measuring where how much room there is to play with. The bonnet closes still which is nice but I dont wanna have to deal with putting wheelbarrow in the firewall as tunnel notch with all the bullshit of having to move everything back shorten the Dshaft etc

Those grom ripoff dashes are surprisingly functional for how cheap they are. Bit of a diddle to calibrate them but do the job nicely once you get it sorted

A 3Y filter housing looks similar to a K series. I wonder if it would have bigger oil galleries

Link to have a look at stuff myself?

Can you measure the spacing of the block engine mount studs/bolt holes for me plz @Roman
-
Or climb in there with a couple of wood props and a scissor jack like ghetto portapower. Get it to shape enough then let water do the rest

Spin the coil 180 degrees so the lead is on the trailing side and pack the plug boot with grease.
Its ghetto but it works
-
Keen to see this offered up to the hiace engine hole and see how well its going to fit

And to answer the first question, its probably already full of oil since I splash some down the plug holes when I turn it over.
Iv found a guy with skills and tools who likes to be fed PGs in return for fab services

Option A is a no because its not a trophy truck
Option B is the next best option but still dubious of cooling capacity, I want to do skids without it turning into a kettle instantly
