So, the only "/thread" here is the expectation that you have a single useful piece of info to contribute. But hey - I doubt anyone is surprised, based on your 'contributions' to other threads. Of course, I'm sure everyone would love to hear about your $500 motor mounts and thousand dollar headers....lol.
EDIT: actually, DON'T tell us about motor mounts and headers...your lack of creativity and experience is boring me and you're just ruining another thread with it.

Hate to drag you kicking and screaming back to reality, but you failed to address any of the information you purportedly came here to gather.
You continue to personally attack anybody who doesn't pat you on the head and tell you what a good idea you have. You continue to ignore inconvenient information and only address the small pieces of posts which you can personally attack or argue with.
You considered the information about the starter location worthy, but not the height concern, even though you haven't measured either. The only difference was the demeanor with which the information was presented. Contrary to your accusations, I read every post, to avoid wasting anybody's time or double-posting.
It doesn't cost a dime to take measurements, and you haven't done that.
The feasibility of your entire project hinges on a couple of simple measurements.
That fact was pointed out to you by several people, not just myself, and yet you defend your idea as though simple facts are personal attacks. You never took a single measurement, even now. There are people on this forum who could walk you through the process, some of them even have the engine lying around.
You have no idea whether your idea will work. You have the means to test it, and you refuse to do so, because you are deeply emotionally invested in your idea.
Ok, what are
you going to do about motor mounts and headers? Who's going to build you a set of bespoke swap headers for under a grand? Because nobody's making a kit. You're not getting the mass-production discount. Not that it's really ever worth it with aftermarket parts.
You've failed to contribute to, been laughed out of, or been ignored in every mechanical thread you've dared to enter. You've been called stupid and arrogant by other people. You call the EZ36 a bloated turd and yet you want to install a SOHC minivan engine.
Meanwhile I take time out of my day to fix other people's problems, often remotely with limited information, usually successfully, always for free.
It's OK, you New England software guys are pretty soft people.
