please help....

thanx, Jason

 

Well depending on you engine, ide say the best place to look is a junk yard, you can get almost anything there for dirt cheep

 

i'm trying to put a mazda engine into a toyota so i need SPECIAL mounts where can i get them?????or who will do the swap for me???

 

Do you know a good machinist, if not you can send me and orthographic drawing (front bottom sides, front back and 3D views) of the parts and ill make em for you custom, I usually work for food + materials cost, but unless your in Colorado ill have do the work for really cheep (make me an offer) and of course pay the shipping and ill get it for you asap.

thats the problem i don't know what i'm going to need to install a 13b rotery into me 1980 toyota carolla......

 

Well if I had the car here I could figure it out for you, but what I would suggest is to use an engine pull and suspend it in the compartment then use a can of fome (you should be able to get it at a car audio place) and ooze it between the mount points and the frame, then pull the engine out with the fome on it, sand it down with some fine sand paper and send the shape to me and ill see what I can make for you, ill need the engine weight, for the stress analyses but it will probably be an easy make.

 

pm me with your phone number i'll call you and you can go into detail on what i need to do......
thanx

If this is a 4 port 13b. Iam pretty sure all you need is a peice of strong angle, drill your holes where you need them, bolt everything down or weld to the car then bolt to the engine.

 

Sounds like a no brainer to me? I could be wrong though, I have been wrong before and Iam sure I will be wrong again!

Check: rx7club.com Iam sure their are many people that have used the exact car and set up. Probably in the race car tech?
