dylan Posted January 14, 2007 Author Share Posted January 14, 2007 well the old man and i thought we'd have a go ar putting the motor and box in and we were expecting to have to change a few things but it slotted in there first time which suprised us.So we pulled it back out and i pulled the old gear box out and i quickly repainted the other one and put it on but then it started pissing down outside so we had to move my car back over and push dads back in.So now all were waiting on is some nice weather and well slot her in for good [/img] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dylan Posted January 16, 2007 Author Share Posted January 16, 2007 so after putting the motor in i noticed there wasnt a hell of a lot of room for a radiator.Buut the one out of that sierra is pretty skinny so ive decided to try make that fit and also i probably wouldnt be able to afford a new one lol.so i cut all the unnecessary braketry and shit off and this was as far down as it would go i havnt tried the bonnet yet but id say it will be pretty damn close.
