Re-drilled the southbend flywheel to be able to bolt it on the 3UR crankshaft. Will be using both the 3UR flexplate and the SB flywheel so we can run the same SB stage 3 clutch along with the 3UR starter. Not sure yet how well this will go but on the balancer it had no problems all the way to 8000RPM. 3URs rev to about 6k so hopefully no vibration issue.

Engine and trans are in their final position. We moved everything back 5 inches. Engine and transmission mounts will be done by the end of the week hopefully.

Crankcase will be cut and modified to clear the crossmember. I'll attach a picture of a 3UR that was once in an 86. I'm sure everyone heard about it a few years ago. It was made by speed hunters but the project was cancelled before the car ran. The crankcase in the pictures looks like it will perfectly clear the crossmember with how the engine is sitting now in my car. If I run into any oil starvation issues due to the crankcase I'll probably end up using an oil accumulator.

There is no way the hood will close without modification, the engine is simply too tall. Anyone knows an aftermarket Hood with more clearance? If not I'll just have to modify the stock one. It's already been cut to install the Velox vents.
