Spent some time with a ruler yesterday measuring, well at least as best as I could. Looks like it’ll fit but nothing is 100% as of yet. The passenger side has a bit of a hole that allows access to the sway bar, steering rack area so I’ve got a pretty good idea regarding distance between the rack and the upper firewall. My best guess is the motor will need go forward to where the trans will be very close to the rack and the sway bar will need to be removed as well as part of the oil pan. There should then be room for the HP pump and water lines on the back of the motor. AC will need a hard 90 on both lines as well as the heater lines. Motor is tall though I suspect hood modification or a new fiberglass hood is in my future.

I’m interested in how you guys are thinking about doing the AC lines that attach to the firewall.

The transmission should be here this week so we’re getting close to pulling the motor. Won’t be putting it up for sale until after I’m sure the new one will fit.
